Hallo Januk,

B>> right. And thats really problem, I still donw know how to remove bad
B>> adresses from mailing-list. I have to do it by hand :(

JA> 1. Export all addresses in group to an LDIF file (use delete option as
JA>    well to remove them from TB's address book).
JA> 2. Find the bad address from the bounce.
JA> 3. Find the corresponding address in the exported file.
JA> 4. Delete the LDIF entry.
JA> 5. Reimport the LDIF file.

JA> I'm not entirely sure how well step 1 works using a command-line and
JA> groups.  You may need to make a full address book for that list
JA> instead of just a group.

Wouldn't it be easier to change your script so that it doesn't create
an ldif file, but something a like a template file that says something
like this:

%to="badaddress"
%subject="Remove recipient per filter"
The message from my mailinglist didn't arrive at your address.

Now you've got to start TB from a batchfile or the commandline in such
a way that it creates a message with this template.
Set an oubound mail filter to delete the address book entry on the
selected subject and you're ready.
To prevent that the newly generated messages with a bad address are
picked up by the filter that triggers the script, there has to be
taken care that the sender of the new message is not the address of
the mailinglist that's being maintained. In this way you get a report
of all deleted addresses as a bonus.

JA> One other thing to consider is that you may be removing addresses
JA> prematurely.  It's possible that a server crashed and that the bounces
JA> are only temporary.
This is where the bonus comes in handy.
Every address that's being deleted should get a report back.
