Dovecot isn't really the one losing the mail, it depends on how sendmail or postfix or whatever you are using is configured. With postfix (which I am using), something going wrong with the deliver program will lose the mail unless you have "softbounce" enabled (which I do have enabled because I broke the deliver stuff once before and discovered the wonders of softbounce at that time :-). Perhaps if there is a bug anywhere, it is that postfix doesn't come with softbounce on by default, but no doubt that is the way the upstream defaults are set. Probably for good reasons like not filling up the spool directory under a spam flood. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
