What is useful can be abused. I run email newsletters for donkey's years. I have subscribers who leave institution A and set a forward to their account at institution B. They ought to signoff from the A account and sign on with the B account. But they are lazy. Later, one leaves institution B and the email to B bounces. Forward at A still works. Sod's law has institution B runs some Microsoft crap. I get a delivery failure without any indication of the forwarder's address. I can't figure out who the original subscriber is. Unless, I remove a random subscriber every mail and wait until one email to the list is no longer bouncing from B. Or I send off the email very slowly and check the logs. With 6000 subscribers, either approach seems a masochist's idea of fun. -- Written by Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel on his 21517th day. -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## exim-users-unsubscr...@lists.exim.org ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
