2) The alert message to at least one community member cannot be delivered for
some reason. The gocept's MTA generates a delivery status notification and
sends it to the return address, in this case, the Karl community.
This point leaves some room for improvement. The way the things work, mails is sent to vanished mail addresses for a possibly indefinite amount of time. I think it would be better to send out mails with a sensible envelope sender address where bounces are collected. Thus, human-generated replies go to one mail address and non-delivery messages go to another.
We could collect non-delivery replies for regular reviews (dysfunktional mail accounts should be disabled) or even for automated bounce processing. The mailman code contains some nice pieces which extract mail addresses from such reports.
In response to another bug, I added the ability to onfigure the envelope from address site-wide. So this is basically done. The question, though, is what is a 'sensible' value for this? Right now, for osf, it is set to <email address hidden>. This will cause any bounces to come back to mailin where they will be bounced since there is no 'karl' community.
Zagy, if you would like to set up something different let me know what email address you would like to use here.
