["Hanke Penning" <address@concealed>]

Dear list,

I've got a problem with the bounced.pl-script.

I'm using Sympa 3.4.4.3.

Sometimes a message is bounced. 

In the syslog are message like

As you migh notice - it is an infinite loop, always adding one BAD- to 
the next. And yes: bounced.pl is running with the right UID.

Okay, when stopping the bounced.pl, deleting the BAD-.... directory and 
starting bounced.pl again, everything works fine. But till that 
interaction, bounces are not handled correct.
