Admins of low volume lists might want to change some of the bounce processing defaults. However, by default if a list gets no bounces from you in 7 days, it considers any previous bounce info to be stale and throws it away. So the list would need to get one bounce per day from you for 5 days in a row for you to get disabled.
You write it as it was extremely difficult... but in reality on the server I manage it happened a dozen times in the last month (4 times to me alone). This is getting pretty annoying. I get disabled on 20-30 lists, spread on different virtual domains, so even the "globally" option in the re-enabling form doesn't help much (cause globally = virtual-domain-wide). I don't have any solution but please don't dismiss this problem.
The other option I would suggest is that list owners start turning on personalization, in order to take advantage of VERP. I think it's harder to get spoof-disabled when VERP is enabled because then Mailman looks for the bouncing address in the encoded recipient header.
This looks promising. Is there any howto explaining how to migrate to VERP on a running list and what gotchas to pay attention?
