so if it's not 5xx it's not a bad email? i see dsn=4.0.0. that's not enough?

i'm assuming it's retried by the mta. the settings in mailman clearly state that it should be discarded right away...


bounce settings:

bounce_score_threshold = 1.0
bounce_info_stale_after = 10
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings = 0
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval = 0

not sure about the bounce_info_stale_after. the way i interpret this is that the bounce information will be kept for about 10 days in case the score rises. if i put this down to zero the score will start clean every day. is that correct? or is this the reason for the repeated log entries - lots of to=<v...@zzzzzz.com> attempts...

here, from the maillog:
to=<v...@zzzzzz.com>, delay=03:42:23, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=785918, relay=zzzzzz.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: zzzzzz.com.: host
name lookup failure

thanks...

hi there... wondering if fake email addresses in a mailman list can get cleaned up with the bounces options. just testing with one and the mail log says (correctly) it could not resolve the host. is this considered a hard bounce by mailman?!


Is it considered a hard bounce by your MTA? I.e. is it a 5xx or a 4xx
status. That's what determines whether Mailman consideres it a bounce
or not.


i have enabled the bounce processing, the maximum bounce score is 1.0, the bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings are set to 0 expecting immediate removal. now that i sent a couple of test messages out that fake address is still in the members list. what needs to happened?


Your MTA needs to return a 5xx for the recipient to Mailman during SMTP
or to send a 5xx DSN to listname-bounces.

Is the message still queued and being retried in the MTA, or is it
still being retried by Mailman?
