Yes; welcome to my personal hell. After discovering that /only/ Sendmail
actually implements the RFC1893 spec completely correctly, I gave up and
wrote a temporary method for Listar that just parses certain specific
bounce formats, and then tries to determine the information if it is not a
bounce format it recognizes.
I am currently trying to come up with a much more general way that will
work with the busted MIME information I have seen in several bounce
messages. I would fold that parser into Listar again, but I would also be
happy to work with others to make a bounce parser that is more
general-purpose and could be folded into other packages as well.
