While not strictly a mailman question, I'm having a problem with
delivering mail to a few list members because their mail server sees our
mail man messages as having too many hops.
my mailman server is behind a Anti-Spam Anti-Virus Gateway Email Server
using Postfix, Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin, Razor, DCC, Pyzor and ClamAV
similar to one describe here http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/ or
here http://www.freespamfilter.org/about.html
and it works great, except that this gateway and amavisd adds a few
internal hops to the incoming message as does my Mailman server so that
by the time it gets back out to the list member, its carrying quite a
lengthy hop count... and if the list member's mail server also has some
internal hops or has the maximum hop count set pretty low..then pretty
soon they hit
Remote host said: 554 Maximum hop count exceeded. Possible loop.
Obviously i can request that the list member's email administrator
loosen their hop count criteria, but these guys are usually not top of
the class administrators... and I don't want to hunt them down one by
one...
so I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this and knew of a
workaround (besides bypassing the gateway)
