The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

The 'remind_return_path' parameter defines wether the REMIND message has a
unique Return-path:. Automatic removal of bouncing subscribers is only 
performed if
unique Return-path is used ; therefore changing this parameter's value will
disable auto-unsubscription.

Apart from this, Sympa does not make any decision about bouncing users itself 
;
it only provides information to the list owners. We plan to develop some 
automatic
bouncing users management in Sympa 4.0. It will do at least what Mailman does 
:
the owner defines a threshold for bouncing users ; users who generated too 
many
bounces will be removed. We don't think it is of any use to disable (set to 
nomail)
a subscriber because we don't get anymore information about his/her status ; 
s/he
would remain in this state forever !

Note that Sympa already implement automatic reset of bounce score, when a 
subscriber
generates no bounce within a certain period (automatically deduced from the 
list activity).
