Mailman. Here's an overview of how it works:
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 hard for fatal errors, or soft for transient
- errors. When in doubt, a hard severity is used.
+ 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 hard for fatal errors, or soft for
+ transient errors. When in doubt, a hard severity is used.
If no member address can be extracted from the bounce, then the bounce
message is usually discarded. Every member has a bounce score,
- 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.
-
- When a member's bounce score is greater than the bounce score threshold
- (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.

7.2 ¿Cómo puedo evitar recibir mensajes duplicados? (opción duplicates)
Mailman no puede impedir completamente que usted reciba mensajes
duplicados, pero puede ayudar. Una razón común para que la gente
reciba múltiples copias de un correo es que el remitente haya usado
- una función ``responder al grupo'' para enviar correo tanto a la lista
- como a algún número de individuos. Si usted desea evitar recibir
- estos mensajes, se puede configurar Mailman para que revise y mire si
- usted está en las lÃneas To: o Cc: del mensaje. Si su dirección
- aparece ahÃ, entonces se le puede indicar a Mailman que no le envÃe
- otra copia. Esto significa que usted recibirá solamente la copia
- enviada por el remitente, y no una copia que haya sido alterada por
- Mailman (incluir cabeceras y piés, borrar adjuntos, etc.).
