What are these notices? If they are "unrecognized bounces", they may result from spam to the list-bounces address. If so, filtering before they reach Mailman will help. You can also just turn off bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner for the list. They can also be unrecognized real bounces resulting from rejects or holds of posts by non-members. Pre-filtering will help here too as will discarding rather than holding or rejecting non-member posts if you want to go that route. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
