[Mailman-Users] How does MM 2.1.1 catch bounces? -- too many "Uncaught.."

[John DeCarlo]

Martin,

Have you read through these messages?  Some of the ones I get include 
"out of office" messages or other auto-generated messages that aren't 
really "bounce" messages.  I.e., they don't indicate a problem 
delivering the mail.

My theory is that when I have time I will try and filter out the most 
common ones with procmail or the like.

But you certainly don't want someone's account disabled because of some 
of these messages.
