1 – Parameters
message-id[,...]
A comma separated list of one or more message identification
numbers shown with a previous DIRECTORY command. Ranges are
allowed.
2 – Description
Queued messages may be returned to their originator with the
RETURN command. The messages to be returned are specified by
their message identification numbers shown by the most recent
DIRECTORY command. That number appears in the leftmost column of
the DIRECTORY command listing. Ambiguous message numbers must be
qualified by the proper channel name with the /CHANNEL qualifier.
The returned message is in two parts. The first part explains the
reason why the message is being returned; the text of the reason
is contained in the file RETURN_BOUNCED.TXT file located in the
PMDF language-specific directory. The second part of the returned
message contains the original message itself.
