Mailman sends mail from listname-boun...@... DSNs are returned by foreign (in some cases) MTAs to that address. Spam is also sent to that address. Since a valid DSN can come from anywhere, your suggestion doesn't seem viable. Note however, that a valid DSN should have a null envelope sender and possibly only delivering mail to listname-boun...@... if the envelope sender is null might help, but the OP's issue was that some unrecognized bounces were legitimate bounces, and since to be unrecognized, they must be non-compliant in the first place, there's no guarantee they would have a null envelope sender. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
