"Bounce" has yet another meaning.  I believe Mutt refers to
redirecting e-mail as "bouncing" it.  In other words, if mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] comes in to [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bob can "bounce" it
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it appears to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think we should avoid "bounce" completely.  We should say "reject
with an SMTP failure code" and "generate a failure notification message"
because those phrases are unambiguous.

David.
