Is it considered a hard bounce by your MTA? I.e. is it a 5xx or a 4xx status. That's what determines whether Mailman consideres it a bounce or not. >i have enabled the bounce processing, the >maximum bounce score is 1.0, the bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings are >set to 0 expecting immediate removal. now that i sent a couple of test >messages out that fake address is still in the members list. what needs >to happened? Your MTA needs to return a 5xx for the recipient to Mailman during SMTP or to send a 5xx DSN to listname-bounces. Is the message still queued and being retried in the MTA, or is it still being retried by Mailman? -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
