I think I've actually identified the problem. Here is an excerpt from the mail header:
>Received: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] > by imo-m26.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v38_r7.6.) id e.cef.43ab224 (57293); > Wed, 13 Dec 2006 09:41:44 -0500 (EST) >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 09:41:42 EST And here is a message from Mailman's bounce log: >Dec 13 09:42:38 2006 (2202) bounce message w/no discernable addresses: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Dec 13 09:42:38 2006 (2202) forwarding unrecognized, message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For whatever reason, Mailman treated the message-id that AOL gave it as the sender address...thus causing the "Uncaught bounce notification" error. The actual bounce occurred because it was sent for moderator approval due to the large number of recipients: >vette:Dec 13 09:38:51 2006 (2204) Igcpgrads post from [EMAIL PROTECTED] held, message-id=<cce.5a1853c.3 >[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Too many recipients to the message Thank you for your insight about the RFC's though, Paul. More disconcerting is the fact that Mailman seemed unable to extract the sender's email address from the bounce? I'm running 2.1.8, if that's of any concern to the devs out there...
