+			To Do:
+
+1. George Sipe reports that --monitor is broken.
+
+This needs to be fixed.  --interface seems to work OK, so the error is
+evidently something pretty specific to the --monitor code.
+
+2. Rethink the handling of DNS errors in multidrop mode.
+
+The present behavior is to suppress forwarding and deletion of the
+individual message that each occurs in, leaving it queued on the server
+for retrieval on a subsequent poll.  The assumption is that DNS
+errors are transient, due to temporary server outages.
+
+Unfortunately this means that if a DNS error is permanent a message
+can be perpetually stuck in the server mailbox.  We've had a couple
+bug reports of this kind due to subtle RFC822 parsing errors in the fetchmail
+code that resulted in impossible things getting passed to the DNS lookup
+routines.
+
+Alternative ways to handle the problem: ignore DNS errors (treating
+them as a non-match on the mailserver domain), or forward messages
+with errors to fetchmail's invoking user in addition to any other
+recipients.  These would fit an assummption that DNS lookup errors are
+likely to be permanent problems associated with an address.
+
+I'm not sure which is long-term appropriate.
