How to view bounce mails
Hi,
On one of my lists a couple of subscribers have been receiving bounce mails. I can see the bounce mails arriving in the MTA logs, and Mailman does log this fact in the bounce log, but I'm wondering about the best way to debug this.
I could of course leave the subscribers to work out why they're bouncing and eventually being unsubscribed, but I'd like to see the content of the bounces to see if there is any common problem.
I can't see an option for Mailman to copy bounces to list or site admin, only the option for it to forward unrecognised bounces. These bounces are being recognised, but I'd still like to see their content.
Is there a good way besides copying the list's bounces address to me?
Cheers, Andy

No.
If you have bounce_notify_owner_on_disable set to Yes, the disable notice will contain a copy of the triggering bounce, but other than that, the actual bounce messages are not available in Mailman so if you want to see them all, copying the list's bounces address to yourself is what you need to do. Either that or hack the code to do a "forward every bounce" function.
Note however that some bounces will be reported by your own outgoing MTA and information about those will be in the MTA logs.
