I meant the mail remains in the queue and qmail keeps on trying to send it to sourceforge, after say about a week it bounces back to me. I can see that it used to return a 550 error. 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable So does qmail or whatever MTA tries to send the mails keep on retrying for the problem to get solved. > > 1.
