The -bounces address is also a mail robot + that processes bounces and automatically disables or removes + members as configured in the bounce processing settings. Any + bounce messages that are either unrecognized, or do not seem to + contain member addresses, are forwarded to the list + administrators. + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is another email + robot, which processes confirmation messages for subscription + and unsubscription requests. +</LI> +</UL> + +<P> +There's also an -admin address which also reaches the list +administrators, but this address only exists for compatibility with +older versions of Mailman. + +<P> + +<DIV CLASS="navigation"> +<p><hr> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td><A HREF="node4.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node4.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node6.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> +<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/contents.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Contents" width="32"></A></td> +<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="" width="32"></td> +<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="" width="32"></td> +</tr></table> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node4.html">2 Introduction to GNU</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node4.html">2 Introduction to GNU</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node6.html">2.2 Administrative Roles</A> +<hr> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
