   unfortunately i'm not aware of any specific trackers for linux... on my OS/2   
   box, running the main BBS and HUB mailer stuff, i use OT-Track... it has   
   bounced my own messages back to me because the destination node wasn't in the   
   nodelist... this would be, for example, when i was adding them and getting them   
    started...   
      
   the trick is to be able to run an external tool on new netmails living in the   
   mailer's MSG netmail directory so that it can mark them with a VIA control line   
    as well as other processing like bouncing netmails addressed to unknown   
   systems... after this processing, the next outbound scan should pack up those   
   bounces and send them back to the originator... so basically, we toss to get   
   the mail into the netmail area then we process the netmail area with tools like   
    netmgr and OT-Track and finally we scan outbound mail to send out possible   
   replies...
