Oh, this also means that I'm getting smtp client notifications by mail
either for both trace and regular message or for neither at all.

Would it require much effort to split the notify_classes parameters (I'm
using bounce and 2bounce among others) or add a parameter
do_not_notify_on_trace?

I know it's not feature request time now for 1.2, but it's testing and
bash-it-harder time instead. :-)
