Good new FAQ page - this page will also be useful when liaising with postmasters of broken systems too.
But is there more that mailman can do? I have been looking through several recent mail loop incidents and also examples of the more benign but still broken one-shot responders that end up on reply-to lists but mercifully know not to reply to themselves. In all cases the envelope sender of the autoreply has been set to something other than the user - either postmaster or MAILER-DAEMON (in the case of Novell Groupwise). Is it possible to filter the envelope sender on a list? If so, filtering senders like MAILER-DAEMON would catch groupwise (the worst I've come across) and postmaster would catch one other that I know of too. Ideally, this would be done by mailman itself. Would these envelope addresses ever constitute legitimate postings? I think mailman already examines the envelop sender in the bounce detection stuff (as errors are traditionally sent with an empty from address in the envelope). -- Steve Lay Technical Manager, ITAL Unit University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
