You don't get a notice for every bounce. With all the notices enabled as you posted earlier, you get every message sent to the list-bounces address which Mailman can't parse as a bounce. Normally, this is only spam. You also get only one "bounce action notification" containing a copy of the disabling bounce when Mailman disables delivery to a member for bouncing, and you get the "unsubscribed" notice when the member is removed. In this case, you should have received the "bounce action notification" messages for each of the unsubscribed members three weeks prior to their being unsubscribed. If you didn't receive these, there is some problem with their delivery. Maybe they went to a spam folder, maybe your ISP rejected or discarded them. The outgoing mail logs on the Mailman server will have more info if you can convince someone to look at them and they know what to look for and they haven't been rotated out of existence by now. >> The usual reasons for disliking you are: >> >> 1.

No, 2.1.20 is the latest 'stable' version of the 2.1 series. Mailman 3 is a major change and is currently recommended only for new lists as there is as yet no defined migration path for MM 2.1 lists. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
