My problem is all the ones that Mailman *isn't* knocking off the list, but sending to me as an uncaught bounce notification, or even it's not even going through mailman and just coming right to the list owner.

Can I get them to be marked as bad, so that Mailman will then disable them and then write it to the log. If I just unsubscribe them, there's no way to tell that it was because the addresses were bad.

Would it be useful to look at the logs to see the bounces?

As an example I run a script to look for members who have been knocked
off the list by excessive bouncing...

MONTH=`date -d"last month" +%b`

echo $MONTH
grep -hs "disabled " /home/mailman/logs/bounce.1 \
/home/mailman/logs/bounce | \
grep -vs "already disabled" | \
grep -s $MONTH | \
cut -f6- "-d " |sort

I also run some similar checks against my MTA logs.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
