Hmm. I'll have to look at that. Offhand, I dunno.

Yeah. That's why I'm using procmail wrappers instead, so I can write a
nice, polite form letter and send it BACK, rather than forward it to an
admin. The admins I know (meaning me) already have too much mail, and I
hate black holes -- someone sends mail, they should get SOMETHING, even
if it's an error. And unfortuantely, when admins get busy, they can
become black holes, or at least molasses ones. And for users, that can
be the same thing.
