Postfix and Exim (and maybe others) take this as a signal for the MTA to try again later. Additionally, a stacktrace is emailed to `CONTACT_EMAIL`. A well-configured production Alaveteli install will have had the MTA make a backup copy of the email sent to the special Alaveteli addresses in a separate mailbox, just in case. |
