Hello helpful people,
I am running sendmail & inflex-1.0.7 on a dedicated mail server.
My issue is this: When the server receives a message that has more than one
recipient (To or CC) where one of those recipient addresses isn't valid, it
sends the sender 2 bounce messages. The one bounce message we expect but
the second states that all addresses are unknown/bad (see below). Despite
this activity, the message still gets through to the valid addresses. It
simply appears that it hasn't, to the sender.
My suspicion is that sendmail is taking the message first and generating the
proper bounce, then passing the message to Inflex. Inflex then scans the
message but generates it's own bounce and doesn't recognize that any of the
addresses is good.
Test message was sent To: valid@biographix.com & bogus1@biographix.com
(invalid) & CC: bogus2@biographix.com. The bounces follow:
