Serge, Soren and Andreas,

Soren just committed the change with Serge's modifications.  Did we ever get
the DSNBounce Mailet?

Reviewing the change change, two things occur to me:

  1 - there is a "bug" -- actually more of a limitation.
      Quoting RFC 3464:

        A DSN can be used to notify the sender of a
        message of any of several conditions: failed
        delivery, delayed delivery, successful delivery,
        or the gatewaying of a message into an environment
        that may not support DSNs.

      The patch handles only bounces and not other types
      of Delivery Status Notification types.

  2 - It seems to me that the original DSN (as in Delivery Status
      Notification) seems more general than "Bounce."  I would
      change delivery-error to delivery-status.  The processor
      could be ... <notificationProcessor> ??  Just to prepare
      for when we do support more than just error notices.

I have not made any change for either.  Would consider changing for #2, and
would not want to touch #1 until post release, although if someone else has
the time, please feel free to look into it.

By the way, due to an error on my part (failing to do a cvs up before a
build), this change did NOT make it into a16.  It will be in a17.

Andreas,

Two things...
1. You only attached the RemoteDelivery patch, not the DSNBounce mailet.
2. The change to remote delivery... other people have requested handling
how bounces work, so I might suggest we make this more generic.
Basically the code would stay the same, just remove the DSN-specific
naming, e.g., configure a <bounceProcessor> and store the exception as
the delivery-error.
