Should we continue this here for now, or move to there?

Ok, didn't want to do that as it involves building from source, but
I've done that now.

True, but I want legitimate mail (but with invalid addresses) to be
bounced so that the sender knows they've got it wrong.

This is the config:

set bouncemail
poll xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       protocol pop3
       envelope 1 "Delivered-To"
       qvirtual "45-"
       localdomains xxx.xxx.xxx
       username xx...@xx... password "xxxxxx" is * here
       nokeep smtpaddress zzz.zzz.zzz

It looks like it has sent a bounce, but still forwarded the mail to
the postmaster.

Any ideas?
