What is bouncing?

2002-02-14 Thread Andre Berger

Hi!

Could anyone please explain what mutt does when bouncing a message? Is it
re-sending to a different address with the same Msg-ID? I'm asking this because
those messages never seem to make it through my procmail duplicates filter

:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

which makes it difficult for me to keep track of them.

-Andre

bouncing just reinjects the message into your local mta without changing
it, so yeah it will leave the messageid intact.

hrmm usually i only 'bounce' messages to people or addresses other than
the one i've already received the message to

if it's a problem, you could set procmail to copy the duplicates to
another folder instead of deleting them (check the procmailex man page
for syntax).
