I have examined the manuals and I cannot find a solution to this problem: When mail is bounced (invalid user ID), the complete message is emailed back to the sender. What do I change in MMDF's configuration to cause only part of the message to be returned? (Rather than have a 40,000 byte message bounced, I'd rather have only the first few lines included in the bounced message and save myself $$$ transferring the data.) -- Dean Roth deanr@mixcom.com

If you have control over what is invoking the "submit" program, have it use the "c" flag, for "citation only" (see submit(ADM)). If you don't have control (eg. rmail), you can put MLISTSIZE 0 in /usr/mmdf/mmdftailor. This specifies that long lists of reply addresses, in this case those with more than 0 addresses, will only receive citations. This will give submit behaviour like the "c" flag above. There may still be a few cases where the whole thing gets sent back (in particular if it's the user agent that's generating the error message). Hope this helps!

If you have source, recompile with CITATION defined. If not, I don't think you can change this. Tim -- Tim Wright, Dell Computer Corp., Bracknell | Domain: tim@dell.co.uk Berkshire, UK, RG12 1RW.
