The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Luís Sousa <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I'm having the same problem that's described here but isn't pratical to 
change my mail aliases file.
I was wondering if setting minimum_bouncing_count 
<http://www.sympa.org/wiki/manual/conf-parameters/part3#minimum_bouncing_count> 
to 1 and minimum_bouncing_period 
<http://www.sympa.org/wiki/manual/conf-parameters/part3#minimum_bouncing_period> 
to 1, and setting Bouncers level 1 rate to 1 could it be possible to 
know in 24h who didn't received some of the message posted. On the other 
lists that I don't want to know in 24h if someone received some message 
I maintain Bouncers level 1 rate on 45. Could this work?

Best regards,
Luís Sousa
