Thanks Thomas, Just after I wrote my original request for help, I realised that I could that and have now done so. I would, however, still like to know what the automatic bounce processing actually does in some detail. I've already noticed a range of different errors. The most common seem to be temporary routing and name lookup problems, so I'd like to find out how I can ensure that exim/mailman tries to re-send the original for longer, i.e. until the temporary problem has gone away. Is there any documentation, or some obvious option that I've overlooked, about this?
