Hello: We are moving vger.kernel.org to be mlmmj-managed, but we've hit the problem of bounce probe messages confusing or annoying people. Every now and again, we accept a spam message (despite spamassassin checks and everything), which is not accepted by subscribers when we try to deliver it and therefore generates a bounce. This results in the "bounce probe" message going out, which tends to hit a large enough number of people to cause grumbling (e.g. everyone with a gmail account). I saw the suggestion to make the bounce-probe text unreadable to the mlmmj process, but it seems like a hack, and I'm not sure if turning of bounce-probe messages means that nobody is ever unsubscribed due to bounces. Is there a solution that would completely eliminate bounce-probe messages, but still properly unsubscribe emails that are bouncing? Thank you, Konstantin
