NAME

DESCRIPTION
     -a       Address string that bounces

     mlmmj-bounce  is  used  to handle mails that are bouncing.  When a mail ar-
     rives    to    the    system,     mlmmj-bounce	will	 register     in
     <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>  info about which number that bounced at what
     time.  An example of such a line could be:

	   109:1094409801 # Sun Sep  5 20:43:21 2004

     The above shows that message number 109 bounced  1094409801  seconds  after
     epoch which is in human date stamps is Sunday September 5th 20:43:21 2004.

     The   last   bounce   mail   received   to   the	address   is   saved  in
     <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.lastmsg.

     When the -p option is used it sends out a probe email including  info  that
     it's  a  bounce probe and a list of the bounced message numbers.  The exis-
     tence of a <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.probe file indicates that a  probe
     have been sent out.
