Possibly you were searching only in bugs, not in feature requests. It is possible to search the entire mailman tracker by clicking advanced sext to the project (not the global) 'search' button, but the detailed 'browse' search only searches the current category. Sorry for the duplicate entry. It was not my intention. Understood.

Re: [Mailman-Users] cleaning up dead addresses
This is _exactly_ why I asked for a re-confirm subscription request. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1504 204group_id=103atid=100103 Which was just submitted as a bug and duplicates your RFE of a couple of weeks ago at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1495 305group_id=103atid=350103. It doesn't really help to re-submit what is really a feature request as a bug. It just clutters up the tracker and makes the task of fixing things seem more daunting than it really is. If you're just trying to ping us to see if we're paying attention, it would be much better to add a comment to your original request.

Re: [Mailman-Users] cleaning up dead addresses
Yeah, except the problem is that most servers just silently accept on behalf of that person. Ever get a bounce back from hotmail, AOL, or any other big ISP? NO.

Actually, I see bounces from AOL all the time for lots of reasons ranging from non-existent user to we didn't like a URL in the body of your message. What they don't bounce is messages they accept and put in a 'spam' folder.

[Mailman-Users] cleaning up dead addresses
Does Mailman recognize and somehow eliminate entries, addresses, which are dead or no long in use?
