[Mailman-Users] bounce processing

[Kevin Crawford]

Any one made tweaks to that bounce logic in 2.0.10 ?

Can I feasably kill a 550 in 2.1(2b?) on one bounce? And if so, does it drop
in over 2.0.10?
thanks,
Kevin

I don't remember the differences in the rules and when they changed, but,
basically,
it has to bounce consistently for a period of time before mailman gives up,
even if it's
getting hard bounces (the hard bounces just accumulate faster).  In 2.1 you
have to
score N points before the account will be disabled, but you can't score more
than
1 point a day.
