     tribution  bounce  for _b_o_x@@@@_d_o_m_a_i_n received more than _t_i_m_e_o_u_t
     days ago, it sends _b_o_x@@@@_d_o_m_a_i_n a  list  of  all  the  message
     numbers missed recently, and deletes the bounce.  If it sees
     a warning bounce for _b_o_x@@@@_d_o_m_a_i_n received more  than  _t_i_m_e_o_u_t
     days  ago,  it  sends  _b_o_x@@@@_d_o_m_a_i_n  a  probe, and deletes the

          eeeezzzzmmmmllllmmmm----wwwwaaaarrrrnnnn will abort execution if it was run less than
          _l_o_c_k_o_u_t seconds ago. The default is _t_i_m_e_o_u_t / 50, which
          with the default _t_i_m_e_o_u_t is 20,000 seconds (approx. 5.6
          hours).  There  is no reason to use this switch, except

          Bounces received more than _t_i_m_e_o_u_t days  ago  are  pro-
          cessed. This overrides the default of 1,000,000 seconds
          (approximately 10 days) and may possibly be useful  for
          very  large  busy lists. Also, a _t_i_m_e_o_u_t of zero can be
          used to send a warning to all  addresses  for  which  a

          for which a warning has bounces.   This  is  useful  to
          rapidly  clear out bouncing addresses from a (low qual-
