In Mailman 2.1.x, list email is sent out from Mailman with a special address <listname>-bounces. Any mail returned to <listname>-bounces comes from poorly designed Mail Servers or Mail Processors that do not follow the RFC's; they are bounces though.
Mailman 2.0.x expected Mail Servers to follow the RFC's and wrote exception handlers for those that did not. The list of exception handlers for Microsoft alone was huge (something in the range of 30 different ways of bouncing a message). The new method allows Mailman to handle bounces whether a Mail Server is setup properly or not. I agree that having the mail sent form <Something>-bounces is not ideal. Feel free to suggest a name change for that alias. HtH - Jon Carnes On Wed, 2004-03-10 at 00:20, Faruk Ahmed wrote: > Dear Jon, > > I am using Mailman version: 2.1.2. It works without no problem.
