.SH DESCRIPTION
mlmmj-bounce is used to handle mails that are bouncing. When a mail arrives to
the system, mlmmj-bounce will register in <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring> info
about which number that bounced at what time. An example of such a line could
be:
.LP
109:1094409801 # Sun Sep  5 20:43:21 2004

The above shows that message number 109 bounced 1094409801 seconds after epoch
which is in human date stamps is Sunday September 5th 20:43:21 2004.

The last bounce mail received to the address is saved in <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.lastmsg.

When the \fB\-p\fR option is used it sends out a probe email including info
that it's a bounce probe and a list of the bounced message numbers. The
existance of a <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.probe file indicates that a probe have been sent out.
