True enough, but SmartList, for one, already has this "serious
hacking" included. By my estimate it catches about 95% of the bounces
and is one of the major reasons I use it (with a 2,000-member list, I
get a lot of bounces and handling them manually was a major time-sink
I am exceedingly happy to be relieved of).
Still, standardized bounces are very desirable -- it would further
improve the bounce-handling possibilities and reduce the processing
needed (a not-so-minor issue since most of the incoming list mail is
typically bounces).
Doesn't listserv also do some bounce handling?
