Possible values are 1.38 +dns_mx, dns_a, byname. For 'dns_mx', the domain is assumed to be an MX 1.39 +pointer to a list of host names, these will be tried each in order 1.40 +(lowest preference value first, equal preference values in random 1.41 +order). For 'dns_a', the domain is assumed to be an A pointer. For 1.42 +'byname', the library function <b>gethostbyname (3)</b> will be used.</p> 1.43 +<p>The default is "dns_a;byname".

If 1.75 +unset, masqmail looks for the Return-Path: header in the mail, if 1.76 +this does not exist it uses the From: address and if this fails, 1.77 +postmaster will be used. 1.78 +</p><p> 1.79 +It is in most cases not useful to set this to the same address as 1.80 +the 'address' option as this may generate multiple bounces. 1.81 +postmaster is recommended.</p> 1.82 + 1.83 + 1.84 + 1.85 + 1.86 +<p><b>do_keep</b> = <em>boolean</em></p> 1.87 + 1.88 +<p>If you want to keep your mail on the server after you retrieved it, 1.89 +set this to true. It is recommended that you also set do_uidl, 1.90 +otherwise you will get the mail again each time you connect to the 1.91 +server. Masqmail does not check any headers before it retrieves mail, 1.92 +which may mark it as already fetched. Note that this behaviour is 1.93 +different to that of fetchmail. The default is false.</p> 1.94 + 1.95 + 1.96 + 1.97 + 1.98 +<p><b>do_uidl</b> = <em>boolean</em></p> 1.99 + 1.100 +<p>If set, MasqMail keeps a list of unique IDs of mails already 1.101 +fetched, so that they will not be retrieved again.

This prevents mail to be left on the server if 1.111 +masqmail gets interrupted during a session before it can send the QUIT 1.112 +command to the server.
