[Mailman-Users] Bounce Processing

2022-02-16 Thread Peter Knowles
Hi,

We turned off bounce processing with the goal of NOT having subscribers
removed in error (false positive) and instead use an internal auditing
process to identify and deal with bad addresses.

Recently I noticed that while bounce processing is turned OFF, subscriber
addresses are still being disabled and "auto-unsubscribed" by Mailman.

Would appreciate it if someone can shed some light on this topic... Have I
misunderstood something or is something not working as it should be?

Thanks in advance :-)

Best Regards,
Peter Knowles | TPN Solutions

Assuming you have set Bounce processing -> bounce_processing to No for 
the list's in question, what is going on is you have users whose 
delivery was previously disabled bybounce. Once a user's delivery is 
disabled bybounce the cron/disabled job takes over and sends the 
periodic warnings an ultimately removes the user.


Once those users who've been disabled bybounce before you turned off 
bounce processing have been removed, there won't be any more. Of course, 
you can also remove the cron/disabled job from Mailman's crontab, but 
this will leave users whose delivery is disabled bybounce who will never 
be removed.
