I too have been confused about the whole bounce process. When I was with Majordomo I got these all the time. I want to see emails that go to the list and are returned for reasons such as "mailbox is full", or "user unknown" etc. I have the following menu iten under Bounce Processing set to NO.
Should Mailman perform automatic bounce processing? (Details for bounce_processing) NO Why do I not get these emails. Am I missing something?
