[Mimedefang] Re: md_check_against_smtp_server question

[aNguyen]

It happened after I emptied the queue.
According to the slide document from mimedefang.org, 5xx code should not 
generate a bounce... Maybe there is something I can look in sendmail config?
Thanks,
An

Complete list of message-oriented functions:

􀀀 action_bounce: Reject the message with a 5xx SMTP failure code.

Note that action_bounce does not actually generate a bounce

message. It simply fails the SMTP transaction.

􀀀 action_discard: Accept the message with a 2xx SMTP success code,

but discard it (it never gets delivered.)
