I have some mail lists with a lot of bouncing addresses that has been

without sending probes, but if I have to I might consider that too. What
are you guys doing to handle such issues? Is there any tools you would
recommend?
Use Mailman for your mailing list software; Mailman is smart enough to
understand bounces from list traffic and disable or remove old addresses.
The FreeBSD lists are using Mailman now...
That works OK for simple mailing lists. I've got distribution lists where
people can select the material they want based on word filters and the
like, so every posting goes to a different set of people. I've been
wondering if it would be possible to use parts of mailman for handling
bounces and the like which are currently a major problem. Has anyone
tried something like this? Any suggestions?
