[Mailman-Users] Redirect all -bounce emails

[Tom Kavanaugh]

Hello folks,

I am currently re-directing all the lists -admin -bounce -owner -confirm
-join -leave -owner -request -subscribe -unsubsribe to mailman at name.com

Currently, I administer all the mail lists and so this works well.

Going forward, I would like to make the list ownership of each list to the
relevant project manager. So, the -admin, -bounce, etc of every list will
have to go to a different email.

My Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py looks like below. This was done from my
previous posting in this discussion forum.
# Envelope sender (bounces) is always the site list.
    envsender = 'mailman at name.com'

Is it possible for :
lista -admin -bounce -owner -confirm etc to go to name1 at name.com
listb -admin -bounce -owner -confirm etc to go to name2 at name.com
listc -admin -bounce -owner -confirm etc to go to name3 at name.com

Thanks
Tom
