I’ve set up email bouncing with Mailgun as described in [Configure VERP to handle bouncing e-mails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/handling-bouncing-e-mails/45343)

Most bounces are handled by Mailgun and then processed through the Discourse API.

But some bounces are sent directly to the forum on the Return-Path address:

```plaintext
bounce+5b6b50.9df4bb-user=domain.com@intfiction.org

```

The forum receives these emails, but then seems to do nothing with them. In particular, the user’s bounce score is not increased.

Do I need to change any other settings to make this work?
