Hello all,
I'm trying to get maildrop to invoke bouncesaying. This is what I
have right now:
if ( /lists.debian.org/ )
{
`/var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying "Numerous attempts to unsubscribe from all Debian
lists have failed."`
to /dev/null
}
I see the error message printed out, but watching the log, I don't see
the bounce going out. Looking at some old mail, I see that
bouncesaying doesn't, by itself, bounce anything.
O-o-k-a-a-y. Ummm. That's baffling. What good is it then? And how
do I get these to bounce?
Here's the problem. I'm changing jobs. My subscriptions to the
Debian lists are at the e-mail address at my old job. In less than 30
days, my e-mail account at the old job will be terminated and all mail
forwarded to my ex-boss, a nice lady who won't have any idea what to
do with it except try to unsubscribe, as I have. But Debian doesn't
use a rational mailing list manager. I try to follow its directions
and I still get mail from the lists. I want this killed.
Since following their directions doesn't work, I figure a few zillion
bounces ought to get their attention. And I promise never to
subscribe to a Debian list again, at least until they get a mailing
list manager that works.
I am using fetchmail to retrieve e-mail from my old job's POP server.
