I have a question/problem with Mailman bounce processing.
We have Mailman lists here that are re-built every morning from our
Human Resources database. When mail is sent to one of these lists, and
one or more of the e-mail addresses therein have problems, I see in my
morning report (and/or in the Mailman bounce log) that specific
addresses have had bounces. I do not see the rejection messages that
are sent to
listname-bounce
so I do not know what the problem might have been. I assume that the
rejection message is discarded after it has been processed, the
bounce log appended, and the e-mail address bounce score increased.
I would like to be able to correct those bad addresses that come from
our HR Database when they are first seen as bad, but I cannot correct
them if I do not know what the nature of the bounce was. And I really
do not want to have to send test mail to each of the failed addresses
in order to get a rejection message.
I know that I can add an additional address in the
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
file to the
listname-bounce:
alias line, but I do not want to do this manually every time I create
a new list.
Are there any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks.
