This may be a bit of a dicotomy!
Does anyone know of a way to set sendmail such that
when it receives mail for a non-existant account (be it an ex-employee whose
account has been deactivated -- or just unsolicited mail to a
non-existant email address) that it automatically responds in the proper format
with "unsubscribe" -- from the proper email address?
My mail queue is chock full of bounces (again and
again) responding to mailing lists for non-existant accounts. These mail
servers try for 3 or 4 days to deliver the same piece of undeliverable
mail. Right now, all undeliverable mail is going to thepostmaster --
who really is busy enough without having to respond to each one
personally!!
I'd like to have bounces end up in some predefined
location and automatically respond with the unsubscribe from the targeted
account - without actually having to keep an account open for all
possibilities. Who could afford the time to do that??
What about the lists who send to "undisclosed
recipients" -- how's anyone to know who it was intended for, and thus make sure
the "unsubscribe" is issued appropriately?
It's not like this particular mail even has a
chance of making it to anyone who will read it!!
BTW -- I do make an effort to remove undeliverable
mail from my lists, in order to maybe make someone elses job more
palatable. Is there some setting in majordomo which will not attempt to
send to undeliverables more than twice?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Janet
