The Mailman bounce engine accumulates a score against possible problem addresses, and when it reaches a threshold it does the auto- unsubscribe. Currently the threshold is 3.0, and scores can be either 0.5 (soft bounces, e.g. mailbox full) or 1 (hard bounces, e.g. user unknown). Scores accumulate only once per day, no matter how many bounces are detected, so even in the worst case it should take 3 days for this to happen. However non-bouncing messages don't immediately reset the score. Instead a tunable interval (currently 7 days) has to go by with no further bounces, after which the score is regard as stale and reset to 0. To put it another way: if you consistently get bounces more often than once a week, you will eventually hit the threshold. Obviously we can tweak these numbers (e.g. raise the threshold and lower the freshness interval), but I'd like to understand what's going on because in all likelihood it's going to keep happening, just less often. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
