Majordomo: approving bounces

Thu, 31 Jul 2003

Q. I got a bounce; how do I approve it?

A. In mutt:

1. <esc> e (to resend the message)
2. then 'E' to edit headers before sending
3. remove all resent/bounce headers (up to and including the >From line)
4. change 'From:' to the list owner (you)
5. remove any 'To' or 'Cc' headers that aren't part of the list so they aren't sent again
6. add the 'Approve: (password)' header
7. resend to the list
