I have what appears to be a working confirmation process now. I had to set the RECIPIENT_DELIMITER to the following in my ~/.tmda/config file.
RECIPIENT_DELIMITER = 'To' this cured the problem. Probably because I use fetchmail to get my mail from my ISP, and the envelope recipient address is being mangled in the process. from the documentation - RECIPIENT_HEADER A string containing the name of a header (case-insensitive) whose contents will be taken as the envelope recipient of the message. The header should contain one fully-qualified e-mail address. This can be used in rare cases when you need to override the RECIPIENT environment variable, which is how TMDA normally determines the envelope recipient address. If EXT isn't set, the address extension will also be extracted from RECIPIENT_HEADER. Example: RECIPIENT_HEADER = 'x-originally-to' Then, if the message contains the following header: X-Originally-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TMDA will take [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the envelope recipient of the message rather than the value of RECIPIENT. WARNING: If you enable this feature, make sure that the method you are using to add the header will overwrite or replace an existing header of the same name (such as reformail/formail's -i and -I options do). Otherwise the envelope recipient will be invalid which will break the confirmation process.
