23 Specify the method how the domain of the server is resolved. Possible values are dns_mx, dns_a, byname. For 'dns_mx', the domain is assumed to be an MX pointer to a list of host names, these will be tried each in order (lowest preference value first, equal preference values in random order). For 'dns_a', the domain is assumed to be an A pointer. For 'byname', the library function \fBgethostbyname (3)\f1 will be used.

25 The default is "dns_a;byname". It does not make much sense here to use 'dns_mx'.

45 If set, masqmail sets the return path to this address. Bounces generated during further delivery will be sent to this address. If unset, masqmail looks for the Return-Path: header in the mail, if this does not exist it uses the From: address and if this fails, postmaster will be used.

47 It is in most cases not useful to set this to the same address as the 'address' option as this may generate multiple bounces. postmaster is recommended.

52 If you want to keep your mail on the server after you retrieved it, set this to true. It is recommended that you also set do_uidl, otherwise you will get the mail again each time you connect to the server. Masqmail does not check any headers before it retrieves mail, which may mark it as already fetched. Note that this behaviour is different to that of fetchmail. The default is false.

62 If set, and \fBdo_uidl\f1 is also set, MasqMail sends a delete (DELE) command to the server for each message uid in the uid listing at the beginning of the session. This prevents mail to be left on the server if masqmail gets interrupted during a session before it can send the QUIT command to the server. Default is false.
