I should know better than to tangle with the list manager, but... In this case, it's not the person complaining wh gets unsubscribed, but the relay address. E.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribes to debian-user. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is forwarded mail by [EMAIL PROTECTED] The bounce handler IIUC will be triggered if [EMAIL PROTECTED] starts bouncing, but is *not* triggered by [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...or am I missing something?
