The format of bounce messages for qmail-send is known as QSBMF, the
qmail-send bounce message format. For more information about it, go to:
ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/proto/qsbmf.txt
This format relies on the string "Hi. This is the" to indicate that it is
in QSBMF. If you are happy about making changes that will break this
feature, go ahead and edit qmail-send.c, recompile and reinstall.
Note for Dan: QSBMF relies on an English string "Hi. This is the". But
English is not the only language in use around the 'net. What happens to
those who want to use say German or French for their bounce message and
still rely on QSBMF? The only way I can think of is to retain the English
message, and tag the other language onto the English paragraph. This will
be in keeping with QSBMF and yet provide support for another language.
However, this would look messy, with the second language following English
in the same paragraph, and possibly being missed. I am aware that most 'net
users understand English, but it's wrong to assume everyone knows English,
especially since more and more countries in the world join the 'net.
