No. It would not be an addition to the Mailman router because the associated transport doesn't do the right thing. Just add the mailman-loop: /usr/local/mailman/data/owner-bounces.mbox alias to /etc/aliases and the system aliases router will take care of it. The site list name and/or (standard default) path above may need adjustment for your installation. I.e. if your site list were named 'site_list' instead of 'mailman' the address above would be site_list-loop, and the path needs to point to Mailman's data/ directory (possibly /etc/mailman/data in Debian). Also, you need to make sure that Exim's system aliases user:group can write to owner-bounces.mbox -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
