I am having problems with my service provider handling outgoing list email... I would like to temporarily disable bounce handling for debug so I can see the complete bounces immediately.
Thanks, John

If you have access to the mailman installation, change the list-bounces alias to go to you.
Otherwise, all you can do is make sure that bounce_notify_owner_on_disable is Yes so that when a member's delivery is disabled by bounce you receive the notice which contains the full bounce message. You can also reduce the threshold to cause delivery to be disabled and a notice sent on the first bounce, but if you do that in Mailman prior to 2.1.10, a bug in cron/disabled will possibly disable delivery for users with stale bounce info.

Thanks, I think I've got it set correct. My server has multiple domains, plesk and qmail... in case anybody with a similar setup is interested, I found the alias at /var/qmail/mailnames/<domain>/.qmail-<listname>-bounces

Looks like plesk is self healing... :-/ when you shut off and turn on mailman it rebuilds the list aliases. Also appears that I am running 2.1.9 and the plesk update for mailman doesn't actually update mailman!?
I guess I need to figure out how to get 2.1.12 running. Currently ...12 update dies because it wants the python development package. Will the current python break plesk?? 8-0 So remind me again how plesk makes my life easier? :-P
