If Mailman could recognize the DSN as such and extract the address from it, it wouldn't be "uncaught"; it would be handled be bounce processing. If you collect the legitimate bounces that are unrecognized and send them to me off list, I can try to update the recognizers to recognize them. However, please don't do this unless you are running a recent Mailman, at least 2.1.9 or preferably 2.1.11, since otherwise you will probably be sending me ones that are already recognized in later Mailman. Also, don't send me non-English language DSNs unless they have an RFC3464 compliant message/delivery-status part. Also note, that if you enable VERP in Mailman (or in your MTA), legitimate bounces will never be unrecognized. Set VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 in mm_cfg.py to enable it in Mailman. Finally, it would help greatly if you would install some effective spam filtering ahead of Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
