Hello,
After importing a (big > 3000 subscribers) list with import21, I noticed the
following:
36 mails went out from LIST-NAME-bounces to subscribers, but they
apparently all bounced.
Could those be subscribers that Mailman2 saw bouncing and added
the appropriate flag, and Mailman3 sent a probe after the import21?
I checked for one of the e-mail address and:
Mailman2:
- that e-mail has the [X] R flag for "noncourriel" (no delivery)
Mailman3:
- that e-mail is Delivery mode Regular, Bounces to 0
NB: in MM2 and MM3, all users are in Hold for moderation, that's
normal.
In addition, there are a few mails in /var/lib/mailman/messages
for example that same user: one file, showing a bounce from a remote
server.
So my questions:
1) is this behaviour to "probe" already disabled addresses normal, and
not "port over" the "don't deliver"?
2) why are those messages held in messages/ ?
3) should I then, before running import21, clean the MM2 installation
of all those users with [X] R flag? If yes, is there
a simple command?
Thank you for pointers or help.
PS: there was no trafic on that imported mailing-list yet, it's a test.
