Not entirely, I am aware of this - what I would like to know is how to
make the mail command in the filter file I posted do this, the
documentation does not provide any hint on how to set the from line,
For reference the complete filter file is
if
${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/org/packages.debian.org/etc/maintainerdb}{$
value}{unknown}} is "unknown"
then
seen mail expand file /org/packages.debian.org/etc/bouncemesg return
messag
e
else
seen deliver ${lookup{${local_part}}partial-lsearch{/org/packages.debian.org/etc/maintainerdb}{$value}}
endif

That might deserve to go in the doc file too.. is there any way I can
detect a failure without the possibility of hitting a lookup result? Ie in
that example if the lookup were to actually return "unknown" it would
fail too.
Thanks,
