Hi.

I'm testing Sympa configuration on Debian (Sympa 5.3.3(-5))... and
tested the following situation :
1) the list alias is not already set, so any mail sent to the list
bounces with "Unroutable address" error. That's "fine" when a regular
user tries to post to the list...
2) if I try and post from WWS, then the sender is sympa, so the bounce
is sent back to sympa, which seems to drop that bounce message...

I would have expected listmaster to be notified in the second case, as
this may be helpful to diagnose a configuration problem : posting to an
existing list whose alias is broken (or something similar).

Any idea why/if this is considered the desired behaviour (or a bug) ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

P.S.: the fact that the alias is not there is not the problem here...
that's just some situation which may occur ;)
