4. Mailing list administrator

Contents of this section

You can define mailing list using aliases and aliases files. This is handy and will work for small mailing list with limited trafic (not too many new members getting in and out). With a growing mailing list, you will often get few subscribers who have improper email setup. Every time one member will send a message, he will receive a some administrative replies stating that some unknown people did not received email properly. This is annoying as those member can't do a thing to solve this.

Here is that trick. If you create a mailing list, say product-list then create another alias owner-product-list which point to yourself. Sendmail will automaticly send error message to you instead of the original author of the message.
