To stop sending mail to a bouncing address Mailman simply actives the nomail
option for the offending address; however, at that point Mailman *does not*
erase or zero out the bounces from the database. The bounce record is still
in the database in the bounce_info{ } section. So it is likely that one
more bounce and the user will again be moved over to nomail.
Removing the user from the list however *does* remove the info from the
bounce_info section (I just checked, using Mailman version 2.06).
You should check your database. Indeed you might need to recreate it.
For now, look at the database using:
~mailman/bin/dumpdb ~mailman/lists/<listname>/config.db |more
and look for the user. You will find them under "bounce_ info". Now remove
the user (go to the web-admin / Membership management / and remove the first
check mark next to their name / click on the "Submit Your Changes" button at
the bottom of the page).
Now dumpout the database and look again. Is the user still in the
members{ } section? Are they still in the bounce_info{ } section?
Hope this helps - Jon Carnes
