Undeliverable email alerts not being sent

[Gerry Matte <Ge...@shaw.ca>]

In my earlier email regarding Eric's proposed Quckstart document, I suggested that the mailetcontainer.xml file be changed so that undeliverable emails (treated as address-errors) trigger an email back to the sender and also one to the postmaster.

After I made these changes and restarted james, I sent another test email to verify that I would now receive the notification that my email was undeliverable.

I was surprised that no such email ever arrived.  Interestingly, the james-server.log seems to show the emails were spooled for output:

My test email came from Gerry.Matte@shaw.ca and the postmaster alert was addressed to gerry.matte@shaw.ca (all lower case).  Neither email arrived at that address.  A manually sent Outlook Express email from info@gerrymatte.ca sent a few minutes later was received within one minute of sending.
