Yes, I've been unsubscribed from Yahoo lists because we reject messages with badly formatted headers. Very annoying. I've been having a debate on the Mailman list about fixing Mailman to recognise rfc1893 enhanced error codes. Unfortunately, the proposal didn't go down too well, it seems that they're concerned that some servers might be giving incorrect enhanced error codes! As far as I can tell, the worst outcome is that Mailman continue to silently drop a few bounce messages. Part of the problem arises because the list manager isn't well integrated with the MTA, which makes me think that Tom Kistner's exilist <http://duncanthrax.net/exilist-distro/> has lots of potential. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
