That's because aliases don't change. >From http://www.sendmail.org/m4/mailers.html The local mailer accepts addresses of the form "user+detail", where the "+detail" is not used for mailbox matching but is available to certain local mail programs. In other words, when the bounce is returned to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the incoming sendmail will deliver it just as it would have if it were addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so you don't need any special aliases other than the normal ones. >The reason I want to use this is I've got a list with a whole boatload >of AOL people on it and after getting reported as spam to AOL 16 times >the other night--guy who did this just said he hit the wrong button--the >list owner decided to just place her aol people on digest.. only there >is no way to "personalize" the digests.

You're not alone in this. See for example the thread beginning at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-November/032604.html >So, anyone have a recommendation and a snip of a properly done VERP >entry from mm.cfg and (Sendmail) aliases. In order to get VERP-like bounce reporting on digests, you need VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 and as long as you're doing that, you might as well add VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes so essentially everything gets VERPed. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
