Subject: Re: [EXIM] smartbounces
Il look nice, but how to put instead of a line in the text = "You sent
a message ..." an entire file (It could be for example le list of
deleted users that asked their new addresses to be advertized or
the istruction on how to retrieve the list of valid addresses) ?
Also the new_address statement would mangle the original
headers? i wish to have all undeliverable address toi a fixed
address so i could try to forward by hand, but having full addresses
make things easier ...
