So, unless I'm missing something, if you use VERP, you should be able to process any bounce from a subscriber.
Is it desirable for mailman to pass on a VERP bounce coming from a held message notification sent to a non subscriber? Would it make sense for mailman if it receives a bounce that is obviously verped and that there is no such member, to just drop it silently (maybe with a log entry)?

So, unless I'm missing something, if you use VERP, you should be able to process any bounce from a subscriber.

I did reported it 2 times. Since CVS 2.1b4 this is happening. My listowners are getting also this emails if a destination usermailbox has a qouta exeeded. Very irritating emails :)
So indeed stop it and my list owners are happy. Some lists i did put off the bounce checkings.

Actually, in a patch I worked out over the weekend (and one of many I hope to check in in the morning), I log and drop any recoginzed bounce that yielded a non-member address. That seems like the most reasonable behavior. The current forwarding was mostly for debugging purposes, but I think it's just more annoying than useful.
