This keeps bounced mail private and helps to avoid disk space problems. \*(mp tries its best to keep as much of the header trail as possible. +Hopefully only the original body of the message will be filtered. Only messages +that have a subject that begins with 'Returned mail:' are filtered. This +ensures that other mail is not accidently mucked with. Finally, note that +\fBsendmail\fR is used to deliver the message after it has been (possibly) +filtered. All of the original headers will remain intact. +.sp 1 +You can use this with any \fBsendmail\fR by modifying the Postmaster alias. +If you use IDA \fBsendmail\fR you could add the following to <machine>.m4: +.sp 1 +.RS +define(POSTMASTERBOUNCE, mailer-errors) +.RE +.sp 1 +In the aliases file, add a line similar to the following: +.sp 1 +.RS +mailer-errors: "|/usr/local/bin/postclip postmaster" +.RE +.SH OPTIONS +.IP \fB-v\fR +Be verbose about delivery.
