Nothing deletes a "wrong" address automatically, but if the address bounces too often then Mailman will automatically move the address over to "No Mail" so that it no longer sends mail to the address.
Is this strictly so, under 2.1 (or 2.1.1)? Our list-owners get notices like this:
Subject: WIT-L unsubscribe notification To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has been removed from WIT-L.
And when we look at the membership roster for that list, the address in question will be just gone, not "No Mail".
In fact our list owners would prefer to only have automatic no-mail, not automatic complete removal. That way they can look into the problem and either correct the address or reactivate it if it was only a temporary problem (though exceeding MM's grace period, I guess).
I can't seem to find the settings to turn off automatic full-unsubscribe, while retaining automatic no-mail and owner notification. Short of turning off bounce-processing altogether, that is.
Here are the settings under "Bounce Processing" from one of our lists, where I was trying to prevent full-unsubscribe by trickery with the timing (that is, the combination of bounce_info_stale_after and bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval). Suggestions for better ways of getting this result will be much appreciated. Maybe just raise the threshhold way up? (But the list owners do want to be alerted to bad addresses...)
Here are the current settings:
bounce_processing: Yes bounce_score_threshold: 5.0 bounce_info_stale_after: 7 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings: 10 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval: 8 bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner: Yes bounce_notify_owner_on_disable: Yes bounce_notify_owner_on_removal: Yes
Thanks for your help,
