Mailman does not distinguish between various types of 5xx permanent failures. If Mailman receives a 5xx status during SMTP to the outgoing MTA, that is recorded as a bounce. If it receives a permanent failure DSN returned by a remote MTA, that is recorded as a bounce. You can adjust the parameters bounce_score_threshold and bounce_info_stale_after in Bounce Processing to try to accommodate differences in those situations, but ultimately, Mailman doesn't distinguish between a permanent failure for non-existent address and one for unacceptable content. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
