An unfortunate side-effect, but probably something we must live with. Bounce noise can get bad and generate anger among those that receive bounce messages that they never sent. It is more common now for mailing lists to be limited to subscribers only. I'm not sure how Mailman creates bounce messages, but bounces can open a door for exploitation by spammers. More information about the lists and how to contact nmh developers could be included on the nmh web pages. Directing them to savannah's support request form is an option non-subscribers can use. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
