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.

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.
