hoped there might be a way to tell if it was time to remove a name from the
list (other than bounce counting).

beenI have an announce-only mailing list I've just moved from majordomo to
mailman during a change of hosts. I mass subscribed the people who had
mailman during a change of hosts. I mass subscribed the people who had
on our list in majordomo and got a bunch of unsubscribe requests right
that. Made me wonder how many people might be just dumping our messages
filtering them out or their ISPs (especially AOL and Hotmail) are marking
them SPAM and never delivering them to my subscribers. Is there any way,
short of a return receipt request on the message, to find out where
them SPAM and never delivering them to my subscribers. Is there any way,
short of a return receipt request on the message, to find out where
are actually going?
---------------- End original message. ---------------------Nope, there sure isn't.
And even return receipt isn't foolproof as users can refuse to send
them. Not that it would be a good or responsible way of determining anything.
There is really nothing you can do about how users utilize your list.
Those who want it will try to make sure they get it. Those who don't
will either unsubscribe or filter it out.
