Hello
Does mailman ever delete members from lists automatically for any reason? One
of the owners of one of our lists (only 1 list seems to have been affected)
recently reported that he had lost 100 users from his list. They were
removed, not just marked as nomail. A primary look at some of the names lost.
show that the addresses were no longer valid email addresses.
Yes, Mailman's bounce processing will do so. The specifics as to how
many bounces and how long to wait before removing the user can be set by
the list administrator. I believe bounce processing is on by default.
This is, in general, a good thing as excessive sending to dead addresses
is a good way to get yourself on some of the anti-spam blacklists.
