-
- The configuration here is to send error returns (in addition to sending
- them to the original sender of course) to mailer-errors@eff.org. That is a
- script which hacks off the body of the bounce and sends the headers on to
- postmaster. Mail to postmaster is not altered in any way.
-
- This seems to be a good compromise.
-
- The mailer-errors script is somewhat stupid, but works (since the only mail
- it gets is from a known version of the mailer, it's fairly easy to make it
- work right for this environment).
