Forwarding and bouncing have two very differnet purposes. Forwarding is for "here, I want you to see a copy of this, but it wasn't sent to you." Bouncing is "you sent this to the wrong address, so I'm going to resend it to the right address, but I really don't feel like getting into that with you right now." It's also "I want this mail message on a different account instead of this one." -- Russ Allbery (rra@cs.stanford.edu) http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~rra/
