Personal introduction: I manage a list with 150+ subscribers using
Majordomo, but approving subscriptions manually. The list deals with
cryptographic programming.
Being pretty new to the list management biz, I've been developing my own set
of little coping techniques etc., and appreciating the wisdom of others. I
had a simple idea about dealing with subscribers whose addresses bounce list
mail.
Since the WWW is a widely accessible out-of-email-band means of
communication on the net, I decided to put up a web page with all the
addresses I've had to remove from the list due to bouncing mail. Next to each
address I include the precise reason that address was bouncing mail, at least
according to the mailer-daemon(s). It's easily updated with some cutting-and-
pasting from the bounce messages I get.
This is still a pretty new experiment for me. I announced the page on my
list, but I haven't had any feedback so far from the subscribers. I am
wondering what more experienced list managers think about this idea. Has this
approach been tried much before ? Are there any non-obvious problems or
benefits I should consider ?
In case you care, the bounce list is at

(BTW, I read the digest version of list-managers, so you should cc: me
directly if you want a relatively prompt response from me.)
