Not a feature, maybe a bug. One ca argue that dealing optimally with any
stupidity is necessary. Others draw the line at rfcs.
If you care to specify exaclty how DSN messages that are not bounces look,
I can add it to the ezmlm-idx version of ezmlm-weed.
Again, the problem is the delivery notification. Who cares that some dumb
host was unable to deliver the message? It's pointless noise. When it comes
to the communication endpoints, E-mail is like UDP. Only a second E-mail
(reply from the recipient) gives the relevant info - that the recipient has
read the message and acted on it.
