    And exactly what am I supposed to do with undeliverable mail...?
    Anyway, my antivirus agent does NOT send warnings neither to the
    recipient, nor the sender of the message containing virus, so
    other undeliverable messages _should_ be bounced IMHO.

    Still, I could set relay_domains to my.domain instead of *.my.domain,
    which is what I will probably do.
