No, that's another patch I'm working on. ;)
But that's not the goal here. The goal of the "forward the bounce" option here is "I want to see what type of stuff would be ignored if I picked 'Ignore the bounce'." In other words, it's a mechanism to permit a list owner to make a determination whether the "Ignore the bounce" setting is appropriate for his specific list, which Brad obliquely suggested.
IMHO, I really don't care to try to determine content bounces.
As a list owner, you shouldn't need to care. Mailman should just Do The Right Thing. My argument is that ignoring content-related bounces is the Right Thing.
Actually, I can phrase it more strongly: as it currently stands, Mailman's lack of attention to content-related bounces *requires* me to violate RFC2822. If I refuse to do so, our users' subscriptions at remote Mailman sites will be disabled.
