Hi,
Just upgraded to Mailman 3.3.1 at the beginning of the week and its very refreshing to have bounce processing working after all this time, stops the continued delivery to dud email addresses causing problems with junk email scoring.
Anyway after a few days of using this I have noted the following feedback:
When users are set to disabled after their bounce score reaches a certain threshold, I seem to recall on Mailman 2 they were sent an email with a link to reactivate their subscription. On Mailman 3 they are told to contact the list admin, I have had messages from a few subscribers regarding this asking how they can re-enable delivery.
I am also getting bounces that look like they are coming from Qmail (Yahoo addresses) which are being forwarded to the list owner as unrecognised bounces. Should the type of bounces that Mailman 2 was handling be handled in Mailman 3 or is the way that the addresses are extracted different? I have disabled the relevant users but do have the bounces to hand.
Thanks. Andrew.

The message the user is sent in built from the list:user:notice:warning template. The next release of Postorius will offer that template as one you can edit, but the current release doesn't. You can make an edited template in the var/templates/ directory.
The logged-in user can go to her settings pages in Postorius at accounts/subscriptions/ to set delivery status. The generic template can't be that specific because Mailman Core doesn't even know if you have Postorius.

The bounce recognition for Mailman 3 is essentially the same as Mailman 2.1. If you post one of these complete bounce messages, we'll investigate why it isn't recognized.
