OK, but FYI, here's perhaps a better reason direct from BounceRunner XXX We used to classify bounces to the site list as bounce events for every list, but this caused severe problems. Here's the scenario: [email protected] is a member of 4 lists, and a list owner of the foo list. example.com has an aggressive spam filter which rejects any message that is spam or contains spam as an attachment. Now, a spambot sends a piece of spam to the foo list, but since that spambot is not a member, the list holds the message for approval, and sends a notification to [email protected] as list owner. That notification contains a copy of the spam. Now example.com rejects the message, causing a bounce to be sent to the site list's bounce address. The bounce runner would then dutifully register a bounce for all 4 lists that [email protected] was a member of, and eventually that person would get disabled on all their lists. So now we ignore site list bounces. Ce La Vie for password reminder bounces. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
