The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

The cleanup of bounces should be performed by Sympa and we plan to make 
it done by the task_manager.

In the meanwhile, removing old bounces does not have much impact on Sympa :

   1/ once they've been analysed (to determine concerned email 
address), bouncing messages
   are stored only for avalability from the web admin interface ("view 
last bounce").

   2/ removing the bounce message will only make this "view last 
bounce" link fail
