+# Handle email responses sent to us.
+#
+# This script is invoked as a pipe command, i.e. with the raw email message on stdin.
+# - If a message is identified as a permanent bounce, the user is marked as having a
+#   bounced address, and will not be sent any more messages.
+# - If a message is identified as an out-of-office autoreply, it is discarded.
+# - Any other messages are forwarded to config.get("FORWARD_NONBOUNCE_RESPONSES_TO")
+
+
+# We want to avoid loading rails unless we need it, so we start by just loading the
+# config file ourselves.
