13. Bounce management</A>
</H1>

<P>
<I>Sympa</I> allows bounce (non-delivery report) management. This
prevents list owners from receiving each bounce (1 per message
sent to a bouncing subscriber) in their own mailbox. Without
automatic processing of bounces, list owners either go
mad, or just delete them without further attention.

<P>
Bounces are received at mylist-owner address, which should
be sent to the <A NAME="5266"></A><TT>bouncequeue</TT> program via aliases :

<P><PRE>
	\samplelist-owner: "|/home/sympa/bin/bouncequeue \samplelist"
</PRE>

<P>
<A NAME="5269"></A><TT>bouncequeue</TT> (see <A HREF="node3.html#binaries">2.2</A>, page&nbsp;<A HREF="node3.html#binaries"><IMG  ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>) stores bounces in a
<A NAME="5272"></A><TT>~sympa/spool/bounce/</TT> spool.

<P>
Bounces are then processed by the <A NAME="5277"></A><TT>bounced.pl</TT> daemon.
This daemon analyses bounces to find out which
e-mail addresses are concerned and what kind of error was generated.
If bouncing addresses match a subscriber's address, information 
is stored in the <I>Sympa</I> database (in subscriber_table). Moreover, the most recent
bounce itself is archived in <A NAME="5281"></A><TT>bounce_path/mylist/email</TT>
(where bounce_path is defined in a <A NAME="5284"></A><TT>wwsympa.conf</TT> parameter and
email is the user e-mail address).

<P>
When reviewing a list, bouncing addresses are tagged as bouncing.
You may access further information such as dates of first and last bounces,
number of received bounces for the address, the last bounce itself.

<P>
Future development of <I>Sympa</I> should include the automatic deletion
of bouncing addresses.

<P>
