But you are using exim. I am not familiar with exim but perhaps > it has something similar? I don't know, but something like that should work. I think its not too much asked of people to resubscribe, so my suggestion is to simply disable the netfilter.org lists, generate a bounce message and have people resubscribe. The amount of dead subscriptions seems to be very high anyways, after only 10 hours of forwarding bounce messages to my address I got around 6000 emails. If there are no (reasonable) objections I'll try to reconfigure mailman to do this tonight.
