I am a brand new Mailman 2.1.2 site administrator / list owner who has migrated one old Majordomo mailing list and plans to create several additional lists.
One of my subscribers of my new Mailman list complained about missing a message from Mailman. I had no idea there was a problem until she complained. I then dug through my sendmail logs and saw that her remote MTA had transiently returned a "Service unavailable" status.
I then went into Mailman and looked up the subscriber's info. Mailman had dutifully incremented her bounce count to 1.0.
But I had absolutely no notification of any problems until the subscriber complained, and that lack of notification is a big problem for these particular mailing lists which are private with a small number of subscribers but feature highly time-sensitive content.
For these mailing lists I am willing to have the list owner receive copies of all MAILER-DAEMON etc bounce messages. Yet I cannot find any way in the Mailman docs of accomplishing this (unless I have missed something). If I disable automatic bounce processing, the docs say the MAILER-DAEMON messages are still discarded, which doesn't help me.
Alternatively I would be happy to have Mailman just send the *first* MAILER-DAEMON bounce message for a subscriber to the list owner.
Is there any tweaking I can do to either the automatic bounce processing parameters or my aliases file that will get Mailman to promptly tell me when a user is having a bounce problem? Yes, I could set the bounce score threshold down to 0, but that's a little extreme since I don't really want the user's subscription to be disabled at this point in order just to get a problem notification about a bounce situation that would likely be merely transient for my particular set of subscribers.
