It was during that whole discussion in which you were actively involved. (Please let's not rehash that here.) Found it! http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-users/2003-09/msg00225.html [quote author="Jason R. Mastaler"] Currently TMDA does use C/R by default, and you have to configure it to deliver by default instead. This is a throwback to the early days when TMDA did little more than C/R. I'd not be oppose to reversing this though. The idea would be that a new TMDA install would deliver all uncaught mail, and you'd have to set ACTION_INCOMING = 'confirm' in /etc/tmdarc or ~/.tmda/config to make C/R the last resort action. Regardless of this thread, I think this would make a new installation less painful as well. Any opinions on this idea?
