The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Mark London <address@concealed>]

The present feature that notifies the list owner when a subscriber is 
bouncing, continues to notify the owner after each post, until that 
user's bounce count is set to zero.   Even if the subscriber's account 
doesn't generate any further bounces.   At least that is what I'm 
seeing, and what I've read.

This is because the user's bounce counts are checked, after a post is 
sent to the mailing list, not whether a bounce is received after the 
post occurs.

I've looked at the code, and it's quite easy to add other options that 
would be triggered when a bounce is actually received.   And then one 
could have features like:

A) If a user exceeds the bounce limit, the user should be set to "no 
mail" rather than unsubscribed, and the owner should be notified, either 
when the user is to "no mail", or after every bounce is received.

B) Every permanent bounce be forwarded to the list owner.   User's 
subscription is not modified.

I have a small mailing list with low volume traffic, in which it's 
important to know immediately if an email wasn't delivered to one of the 
users.   This 2nd option is what I'm presently implementing for my site.

Just a thought.   FWIW
