Feature request - better bounce messages

Feature request - better bounce messages

[Mads Toftum]

Hi,

I've had a couple of bounce messages recently, and all I get is:

Some messages to you could not be delivered. If you're getting this
message it means things are back to normal, and it's merely for your
information.

Here is the index(es) of the messages that bounced in the attempt of
delivering them to you:

        257

It would be really nice if we could get the smtp status from the 
bounce as ezmlm does.

So in case there's more bounce indexes in one probe message, I can only
include the last one. That one I have though, and it could be added to
the probe.

I do think that ezmlm does the same (or at least the one at apache.org
does) and I think it will be just fine to do it that way.

It would be neat if it had the Subject: line of the mail next to the
index number as well.  That would rock.

Say, does anyone know what the difference is between ezmlm <-> mlmmj
archive format?  Would it be possible to port message archives across?
(I'm currently moving a ****load of ezmlm lists over to mlmmj by the end
of the month)...

No, the primary reason we don't do that is spam filtering. If my mail server
rejected a spam message (with a spamish subject), then the probe mail will also
be rejected, and I will be kicked off the list.

Found this thread from 2005 in the archive.  This would help me greatly
as a large number of subscribers to my lists are local exploders.

Is there a keyword I can add to listtext bounce-probe file?
