Kiran,
The only time that particular file should be appended to is during a
subscribe operation, to add an email address to your list. The bounce
script depends on
or defaults to your bounces list being called "bounces" (no upper case
letters).
If majordomo generates a message, which in turn bounces for any reason,
and the
sender is configured as "majordomo" (no owner prefix or suffix), a mail
loop can
be created. That is why the majordomo.cf has the majordomo_dont_reply
setting.
Majordomo can detect these and prevent the loop by aborting.
"Bounce" has two meanings. Majordomo will BOUNCE a message for various
configurable reasons to the list-owner. These can be for adminstrative
checks, non-member message posting, etc. Sendmail (or other MTA) will
bounce a message
when it is undeliverable. It is these MTA bounces that the bounces list
is for.
Which type of bounce are you referring to? MTA bounces should not need
approving.
Can you provide examples of what and how you are trying to do what you
are having problems with?
