I am looking for the "Bounces" set of perl scripts that will automatically
delete list members whose mail continually bounces. Basically this
software will add list members whose mail is bouncing to a special "Bounce"
mailing list. The software will then permanently remove the subscriber
from the regular list and the bounces list if their mail continues to fail
in delivery.
While I only know of one site that uses it, I have run across many
references and discussions about it over the last year or two, enough
times to lead me to believe this software is openly distributed. I have
tried to contact one list manager whom I know is using it and received no
response. I have also searched through the list-manager archive and used
the Internet search engines, both to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
