I did.
I believe you'll find that the answer is that you (the mailing list administrator) should have control over the MTA,
I do -- to the extent that the MTA gives me that control.
and if you don't want warnings to be treated the same as bounces, then you should configure the MTA so that it doesn't generate warnings.
To say "in order to not treat warnings as errors, disable warnings" is, respectfully, silly. Warnings should be heeded but they do not necessarily indicate that they should be treated as errors. Where in life is it valid to say "to not treat warnings as errors, ignore warnings"?
But you should search the archives to get the full picture of previous discussions.
You are probably referring to the recent discussion of May 2004. I did read it. It did not seem to indicate any real solution (other than ignore warnings).
And for mailing list mail, it is _perhaps_ valid to simply disable warnings, so I did look into how to do this. I did not seem to find any way to disable warnings for a given Precedence: level in Postfix. i.e. for Precedence: list only, disable warnings, but for regular Precedence: I do want warnings.
I don't think this changes the fact that MM should deal with warnings without barfing them out as "unknown bounces". They are known. The code is there to "know" them. MM just prefers to not deal with them, which I think it should, even if it's to simply ignore them.
