I've attached 2 mails that were filtered out because of this today.
Isn't this rather a limitation of the software used or a
misconfiguration? I'm not very experienced with the problem but reading
the manpage, I think the filter is a bit too simple. Why filter eg every
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail instead of only *relevant* mails like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We regard it as a configuration ;-). There are too many servers out
there sending bounces without an empty return path. Using the
FROM_DAEMON check means that we only let through a few bounces, rather
than a whole lot of them.
See also man procmailrc(5), under MISCELLANEOUS.
Done. But please be aware that this problem also applies to our users
using the BTS. Every time they use one of the problematic mails, they
get an error message -- I think you cannot expect our users to
subordinate to those limitations, could you?
I'll change the mail address for debian purposes as soon as possible,
but please consider that most users will not, so the problem should be
fixed on the server-side.
The last time I looked into this (although I do admit it was a while
ago), there were still a large number of boune messages that looked
liked this. I can't forsee this having changed.
