Bounce help please!

Nevermind, I got it. When I had installed MS 4.29-3 I had changed the
bounce.rules default from 'no' to 'yes'. This doesn't work...

When I changed the 'Enable Spam Bounce =' from the bounce ruleset to a
simple 'yes', then my rejection bounce notices came back. Took over 12
hours to figure this out.

Frankly I am clueless as to the strong wording in the docs and the bounce
ruleset to 'under no circumstances' set the default for bounce to yes. I
certainly agree that it is a very bad idea to send bounce rejections to
high scoring spam, but I would be open to major litigation if I didn't send
bounce notification to the low scores on the off chance that I rejected a
critically important ham and didn't notify the sender.

I MUST send out rejections to the low scores on the off chance that I
incorrectly rejected a message that was important. AT least by sending the
rejection, the sender knows their message did not get through and can take
steps to rectify the problem with me.

Well, at least I'm okay again...
