I am trying to understand Mailman 2.1.9 bounce processing. I run a
cron job each morning to capture all of the e-mail addresses for all
of my Mailman lists where the bounce score is greater than 0.
I have one list were there were bounces recorded for one e-mail address
Jul 17 ==> score = 1.0
Jul 24 ==> score = 2.0
Jul 27 ==> score = 3.0
Jul 31 ==> score = 4.0
Aug 07 ==> score = 5.0
I have to assume that there were bounces on those days to this
particular address. I cannot tell from the syslog on the smart mailer
to which Mailman sends all its outbound mail, as this address is on
a MS Exchange Server, and Exchange will accept all of the mail and
then reject some that it does not like. Exchange does not do an SMTP
5xx-level reject during the SMTP portion of the inter-mailer dialog.
There was subsequent mail to this list
Aug 14
Aug 21
I do not know if there were bounces from these two postings, as the
bounce score for the address in question remained at 5.0.
This morning I received mail from Mailman that this particular address
had been unsubscribed from the list. Here are the bounce settings for
this list:
bounce_processing: Yes
bounce_score_threshold: 5.0
bounce_info_stale_after: 40
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings: 3
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval : 7
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner: Yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_disable: Yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_removal: Yes
I would have expected an unsubscribe message on Aug 08, the morning
after the bounce score reached 5.0. I do not understand why the
unsubscribe occurred this morning.
Can someone explain what is happening? Thanks.
