If you want to accept replies to these messages, you'll obviously need
to configure qmail accordingly. This is your decision: require
properly configured mailers for return mail, or accomodate improperly
configured mailers.

See "man qmail-inject" or:

for information about using environment variables to control this.

Personally, I'd make lucid and pop3 work, but still encourage people
not to use them. I think e-mail administrators should do whatever they
can to facilitate the delivery of mail to or from their users.
