[Mimedefang] question about bounce

[VonEssen, John]

I am curious about how action_bounce works.

I know the idea behind a MILTER is that it can interject during the SMTP
conversation.


Say you send mail to an unknown user on some remote server. During the
SMTP conversation the rmeote mail server will respond with some sort of
55X Error. For example, on my mail server, I see something like the
following when sending mail to an unknown user at hotmail:

Jun  4 12:35:19 <mail.info> beck sm-mta[47004]: h54JZIvE047002:
to=<74yyrry8ryr73yr4r5th at hotmail.com>, ctladdr=<essenz at beck >
(1000/1000), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=30357,
relay=mx1.hotmail.com. [65.54.252.99], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown


If hotmail was using MIMEDefang and action_bounce("Invalid User") was
called, would I see the following:

Jun  4 12:35:19 <mail.info> beck sm-mta[47004]: h54JZIvE047002:
to=<74yyrry8ryr73yr4r5th at hotmail.com>, ctladdr=<essenz at beck >
(1000/1000), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=30357,
relay=mx1.hotmail.com. [65.54.252.99], dsn=5.7.1, stat=Invalid User

I believe this is true, but I can't test it right now. If so, is it
possible to modify the 5.7.1 to something else?
