NAME

       mlmmj-bounce - bounce handling utility for mlmmj

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       mlmmj-bounce  is  used  to  handle  mails  that	are  bouncing.	When  a  mail  arrives to the system, mlmmj-bounce will register in <list-

       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.
