I always find the worst offenders for this are vacation handlers rather than just errors (at this time of year anyway). Vacation handler *should* only send *one* response to any given address, but YMMV.
I generally disagree with Brian. I think you should have at least "3 strikes and you're out", otherwise you may be victimised unfairly if you have a few hours of mail server failure (or a full mbox or whatever). We have a mailet to deal with relay bounces (30 limit) so bounce storms will hopefully be covered. At the moment I think this is only a problem for list manager software. Therefore they should deal with it using the appropriate methods (VERP's, headers etc). -- Jason > -----Original Message----- > From: Serge Knystautas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 22 August 2003 03:13 > To: James Developers List > Subject: Re: Interesting note on bounces... > > > Serge Knystautas wrote: > > Brian Behlendorf mentioned on the infrastructure list this rather > > important point... > > > > "You also have to make sure to only respond to a given > address no more > > than once per day to avoid loops, that kind of thing." > > > > Not sure how we could best incorporate this notion into james, but > > seems > > very sensical. > > Sorry, the context was sending bounces error messages. > > -- > Serge Knystautas > President > Lokitech >> software . strategy . design >> > http://www.lokitech.com p. 301.656.5501 e. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
