Description
In my Ruby application I process ALL incoming E-Mails for a certain subdomain. But how can I send back a bounce message when the mail.to mailbox doesn't exist on my system anymore? Is the bounce back email just a regular email? Are there any best practices for that? I appreciate any help!
