Are these traditional umbrella lists where the sub-lists are members of the umbrella, or are they 'regular include lists'? If the former, messages to the users should be coming from the sub-lists and bounces should be handled correctly. If the latter, the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/TIA9> which discusses this method points out that bounce processing doesn't work for sub-list members. As to what you can do about it, if you have access to the list's aliases, and if the 'umbrella' lists have no members, you can change the alias for the 'umbrella-bounces' list to deliver to you (or to 'umbrella-owner') so you can handle the bounces manually. The fact that the FAQ says "Note however, that currently (Mailman 2.1.12) bounce processing won't work in this case ..." would seem to imply that I intended to make it work in some future release, and I may yet do so. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
