Copy the mm21 admin directory out of the mm21 branch. We'll svn
external the latter to get that back into the release, but I really don't want to maintain multiple copies of the web pages.

-<H2><A NAME="SECTION002280000000000000000">
-2.8 The Bounce Processing Category</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>
-These policies control the automatic bounce processing system in
-Mailman. Here's an overview of how it works:
-
-<P>
-When a bounce is received, Mailman tries to extract two pieces of
-information from the message: the address of the member the message
-was intended for, and the severity of the problem causing the bounce.
-The severity can be either <em>hard</em> for fatal errors, or
-<em>soft</em> for transient errors. When in doubt, a hard severity is
-used.
-
-<P>
-If no member address can be extracted from the bounce, then the bounce
-message is usually discarded. Every member has a <em>bounce score</em>,
-initialized at zero, and every time we encounter a bounce from a
-member we increment that member's score. Hard bounces increment by 1
-while soft bounces increment by 0.5. We only increment the bounce
-score once per day, so even if we receive ten hard bounces from a
-member per day, their score will increase by only 1 for that day.
-
-<P>
-When a member's bounce score is greater than the <em>bounce score
-threshold</em> (see below), the member's subscription is disabled. Once
-disabled, the member will not receive any postings from the list until
-their membership is explicitly re-enabled, either by the list
-administrator or the user. However, they will receive occasional
-reminders that their membership has been disabled, and these reminders
-will include information about how to re-enable their membership. You
-can control both the number of reminders the member will receive and
-the frequency with which these reminders are sent.
-
-<P>
-There is one other important configuration variable; after a certain
-period of time - during which no bounces from the member are received
-- the bounce information is considered stale and discarded. Thus by
-adjusting this value, and the score threshold, you can control how
-quickly bouncing members are disabled. You should tune both of these
-to the frequency and traffic volume of your list.
-
-<P>
-<DL>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_processing</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>Specifies whether or not this list should do automatic bounce
- processing.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_score_threshold</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This is the bounce score above which a member's subscription will
- be automatically disabled. When the subscription is re-enabled,
- their bounce score will be reset to zero. This value can be a
- floating point number.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_info_stale_after</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>Thenumber of days after which a member's bounce information is
- considered stale. If no new bounces have been received in the
- interrim, the bounce score is reset to zero. This value must be
- an integer.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>The number of notices a disabled member will receive before their
- address is removed from the mailing list's roster. Set this to 0
- to immediately remove an address from the list once their bounce
- score exceeds the threshold. This value must be an integer.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>The number of days between each disabled notification.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This variable controls whether unrecognized bounces are discarded,
- or forwarded on the list administrator. The bounce detector isn't
- perfect, although personalization can make it much more accurate.
- The list owner may want to receive unrecognized bounces so that
- they can manually disable or remove such members.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_notify_owner_on_disable</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This option controls whether or not the list owner is notified
- when a member's subscription is automatically disabled due to
- their bounce threshold being reached.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>bounce_notify_owner_on_removal</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This option controls whether or not the list owner is notified
- when a member is removed from the list after their disabled
- notifications have been exhausted.
