[Mailman-Users] suggestion: rework bounce handling code

[alex wetmore]

The current code turns on the "disable mail delivery" flag for the
user or unsubscribes them.

I'd prefer to see two disable mail delivery flags, one that is
set/unset by the user (for people who just want to read via the
archives) and one that is set by the bounce logic, and unset by the
user.

I'd like this because one of the biggest admin tasks that I have now
is walking through re-enabling people's mail delivery and explaining
to them why they are no longer getting list mail.  With two flags I
could write a script which went through the lists every night and sent
an email to everyone who had the "bounced - disabled" flag set.  This
email could tell them how to fix their mail delivery, and tell them
why it occured in the first place.

This is one thing that EzMLM handles more nicely that mailman.  When
email bounces it sends the subscriber a bounce report and tells them
how to get back the email that they've missed.

Has this logic changed at all in 2.1?
