No. You need to clean out your lists. Why are you sending out garbage to non-existing addresses at? A properly maintained list has a low percentage of undeliverables - when (as in your case) the undeliverables are exceeding the normal fallout of about 3%, then you're having bad lists. > If I do so I should expect an increase in speed and performance of > mailman and a decrease in delays, but I might risk that some members, > whose messages could not be delivered for whatever reasons, might loose > some of these messages. Is that so?

That's how Hotmail and SenderScore work. Furthermore you're going to hit spamtraps sooner or later. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 [email protected] | http://www.charite.de ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
