The bounced message will be sent by the MAILER-DAEMON on the mail relay server to postmaster, which inturn will point to the person that takes care of email.

Your not planning on sending spam email are you ???

This is the typical setup
Code:
# The following alias is required by the mail protocol, RFC 2821
# Set it to the address of a HUMAN who deals with this system's mail problems.
postmaster: root

# Alias for mailer daemon; returned messages from our MAILER-DAEMON
# should be routed to our local Postmaster.
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster

NAME
mlmmj-bounce - bounce handling utility for mlmmj SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-bounce -L /path/to/list [-a john=doe.org | -d] [-n num | -p] -a: Address string that bounces -d: Parse the mail to extract the address via the DSN (RFC1891) -h: This help -L: Full path to list directory -n: Message number in the archive that bounced -p: Send out a probe -V: Print version DESCRIPTION
mlmmj-bounce is used to handle mails that are bouncing. When a mail arrives to the system, mlmmj-bounce will register in <list- dir>/bounce/<addrstring> info about which number that bounced at what time. An example of such a line could be: 109:1094409801 # Sun Sep 5 20:43:21 2004 The above shows that message number 109 bounced 1094409801 seconds after epoch which is in human date stamps is Sunday September 5th 20:43:21 2004. The last bounce mail recieved to the address is saved in <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.lastmsg. When the -p option is used it sends out a probe email including info that it's a bounce probe and a list of the bounced message numbers. The existance of a <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.probe file indicates that a probe have been sent out. AUTHORS
