- If you decide against 1), at least INFORM the senders that their
messages are filtered out. In the past week I thought I was being ignored, as I did not receive such mails. This obviously is not a feeling you want to nurture in admins supporting your project.
Agreed, but are you sure the bounces weren't being filtered on your side? (A few minutes ago I sent a mail from a gmail address, still no bounce received).
I would disagree here. Basically, it is on subscriber's side to find out that the way you handle your mail and subscriptions to mail lists works. Doing it differently will make centos mail list a source of "backscatter". Those who maintain mail servers know whet it is. In a nut shell, someone sends message forging From and making this from look as it is from me. Message can not be sent forth, then the notification about that is sent to me. To me, who has nothing to do with sending original message. This "backscatter" is one of the spammers tactics. This is why "notification" that the message can not be posted to mail list jeopardizes mail list server.
Good point!

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with CentOS, so what I considered unreasonable on your side, may be quite acceptable for CentOS. Mine is just a point of view of "external observer" ;-)
Ditto here :)
