That is what I was talking about. With ezmlm there is no need to deal with bounces anymore, it does that completly automatically with VERP. At this time it only runs with qmail, but it might be possible to teach it to like postfix (should be even easy IMHO). I'll give it a shot if there is a chance that it will be used eventually. I know some guys with list's in the three digit k to one digit M range which don't have to deal with bounces at any time. I know it's hard to believe but it's true and I can provide you with names where one can ask for confirmation. More information about ezmlm can be found on ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/ezmlm.html (Authors homepage) and http://www.ezmlm.org (extended version, ezmlm-idx) more info about VERP is here ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/proto/verp.txt (very interesting) and about how it handles bounces perfectly automatic: http://www.ezmlm.org/faq-0.32/FAQ4.html#ss4.9 (ezmlm path for bounces) plus http://www.ezmlm.org/faq-0.32/FAQ4.html#ss4.33 (how bounces are handled) -- Andre Oppermann CEO / Geschaeftsfuehrer Internet Business Solutions Ltd.
