I have a problem  with bouncemail resulting from some of  the postings sent by
one or another of the lists I "own". In many cases mail from the listserv will
bounce with a "No such user" or  "Host unknown" message, yet I can send normal
E-mail  to   the  intended  recipient   without  difficulty.  The   list  uses
Mail-Via=Distribute.
 
My usual "knee jerk" reaction when I get a load of bounce messages back from a
user/site is to unsub the offending ID from the list. Unfortunately, sometimes
this inadvertantly  blows away a good  subscriber. I don't much  like throwing
people off my list(s) who shouldn't receive such treatment.
 
What to do?
 
Is there a  better setting for the  Mail-Via option? I have  used some special
routing in the past, but that hasn't resolved this particular problem.
 
Please send a copy  of any responses to me directly, as I  never have a lot of
time to read this list.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
 
Sez me,
