Re: Mail source unreachable - continue yes/no?

[Lars-Johan Liman]

Lol!

Thanks. OK, so I wasn't off the mark, then. :-)

I'm not even sure this needs to be fixed. It's good that the fact that
the server couldn't be reached is signalled, but continuing seems like
the right thing to do. The message is somewhat misleading though. How
about changing the "question" to a "Please ack!" of some kind?

                                Cheers,
                                  /Liman
