That's a good point. It may not be a
problem. Besides, if my link is down for more than 10 hours I'll have much
bigger things to worry about.
I checked the table of error messages and about 25% of
them show the error message sender as a local address (postmaster or root) even
though the message header shows it originated from a remote IP. Is there
something consistent I can look for in the message header to see if the error
message originated from my server?
As a test, if I were to subscribe a completely
bogus email address with a non-existent domain name to the listserve,
wouldn't this cause my server to generate an error message since that email
couldn't get out? Wouldn't this error message originate in much the same
way as if my link was down?
Perhaps the best approach is to not automatically
unsubscribe addresses where the error messages originated from my own
server. Question is, how best can I consistently
determine if the originator was my own server?
Thanks,
Gary
