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: ---Snip First Bounce--- Return-Path: Received: from localhost (localhost) by mail.biographix.com (8.11.4/8.11.4) id f9QDCge18306; Fri, 26 Oct 2001 09:12:42 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from MAILER-DAEMON) Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 09:12:42 -0400 (EDT) From: Mail Delivery Subsystem Message-Id: <200110261312.f9QDCge18306@mail.biographix.com> To: valid@biographix.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="f9QDCge18306.1004101962/mail.biographix.com" Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (failure) X-UIDL: bb,"!m"!8nF"!
