I have a couple items from my wish list.
A variable setting for each mailing list that allows the list owner
to choose whether s/he wants to see SUBSCRIPTION and UNSUBSCRIPTION
notices or not. On a highly active list you get so many of these that
it becomes an annoyance.
An additional module that I can point my errors-to header towards
that would process bounced messages based on a more-or-less inclusive
set of criteria and assemble a list of subscribers who have generated
one or more bounces and who should be unsubscribed or moved to the
bounces list, then assemble messages for APPROVAL and send them to
the moderators of the appropriate mailing lists. I own/moderate 7
mailing lists with a total of 6000 or so subscribers and they
generate an incredible number of bounces each week. They generate far
more bounce messages than I can process regularly, and I often just
go through the mbox file with grep and awk to find the people who had
undeliverable mail and then generate a script which usually dies a
premature death from forking the stack into oblivion, but manages to
unsub a sizable proportion of them. Anyway, this is something that I
think could be added into the majordomo program suite without a lot
of problems. Anybody better than I am at perl who wants to code it?
whoah!
