Re: [vox-tech] filtering the lists?

[Mark Kim <mkkim@ucdavis.edMAPSu>]

I'm not seeing the bounced messages... isn't it only you who get the
bounced messages?  If that's the case, can't you just filter them on
your end?  Also, since mail-archive.com sees what we see (as opposed to
what the list maintainer sees), mail-archive wouldn't archive the bounced
messages... right??
