=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item Error: Errors when closing Qmail mailer $program: $!

The Qmail mail transfer agent did start, but was not able to handle the
message for some specific reason.

=item Warning: Message has no destination

It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to go
to.

=item Error: Package $package does not implement $method.

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
implement this method where it should. This message means that some other
related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does
not.  Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author
of the package.

=item Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination

The message which is sent is the result of a bounce (for instance
created with L<Mail::Message::bounce()|Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce/"Constructing a message">), and therefore starts with a
C<Received> header field.  With the C<bounce>, the new destination(s)
of the message are given, which should be included as C<Resent-To>,
C<Resent-Cc>, and C<Resent-Bcc>.

The C<To>, C<Cc>, and C<Bcc> header information is only used if no
C<Received> was found.  That seems to be the best explanation of the RFC.

As alternative, you may also specify the C<to> option to some of the senders
(for instance L<Mail::Transport::SMTP::send(to)|Mail::Transport::Send/"Sending mail"> to overrule any information
found in the message itself about the destination.
