[Box-Admins] Dead mailing list subscriber processing policy

[Ken Causey]

As for another low-priority issue:

Back in November I mentioned noticing mailing list bounces and Marcus
reasonably pointed out that mailman should handle that automatically.
Since that time I have been paying more attention to the reports I get.
I've found that the vast majority are spam related and so can be
ignored.  However I have found one category that I think is worth
further examination/discussion: monthly password reminders.

I have received bounce notifications both for December and January list
password notices for the following people (who are all on squeak-dev):

richardalan.2814264 at bloglines.com

mdp at citynet.net.ar

josch.1532743 at bloglines.com

elec at hbs.ne.jp

richardalan.3317264 at bloglines.com

kittle at mail.yans.net

tauzell.3868392 at bloglines.com

n.douglas at nec.com.au

Now it may be that these people are subscribed but have delivery
disabled, in which case the January notices may be only the second or
third bounce.  But I'm unsure of whether the policy is the same for
messages from mailman itself.

For the moment I will continue monitoring this.

Ken

P.S. The qmail queue has grown to 4187 as of today.  I'm not sure if
that's anything to be concerned about or not.
