Man, don't even worry about parsing all those different bounces.
Another poor soul on this list has said he needs to parse 70,000 or so
of them--that sounds awfully painful.
Use the method that djb pioneered to handle bounces: VERP. Details at
http://cr.yp.to/proto/verp.txt. Set QMAILINJECT="r" in your
environment when sending the mail to generate VERP return paths (see
the return path of this list message to see what VERP does to the
return address). See qmail-inject's man page for details on the
QMAILINJECT environment variable.
