Please bear with me. I'm relatively new to mailman, and I freely admit I don't know a pickle from a VERP from a pumpkin. :-)
One of our lists is fairly critical: if a message doesn't get delivered, the list owner needs to know about it so that she can send a hard copy instead. Unfortunately, the list of email addresses which was used to populate this list is known to contain several bad addresses, but no one knows *which* addresses are bad. I'd like a way to have all bounces to go her, or, in the worst case, to me or to a file or something, so that she can go an follow up on each bad email address and either track down the correct one and fix it or delete it from the list. We can't afford to let bounce processing wait for five bounces before notifying the list owner.
The obvious solution is to set bouce_score_threshhold to 0. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this was going to be necessary until an important announcement was sent to the list already. My questions are:
1 - am I on the right track with bounce_score_threshhold=0 ?
2 - is there a way to dump out all of the bounces to a file so I can pass it to the list owner? Where are bounces 'stored' ?
Please forgive my ignorance about the internals of mailman.
thanks!
