Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response and suggestions.
I modified the Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py per you suggestions.
The unix_sysadmin-bounce emails now get redirected to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That is the good part.
But what is happening now is that the mailman server keeps spitting out
these emails to the mailman mail list. Every few minutes I am bomarded with
these emails from the mailman mail list. The relevant contents are:
Reporting-MTA: dns; utc80.name.com
Received-From-MTA: DNS; localhost
Arrival-Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 16:13:39 -0800 (PST)
Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Remote-MTA: DNS; mailhost.name.com
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User
unknown
Last-Attempt-Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 16:13:39 -0800 (PST)
Seems that the mailman server (utc80) is re-trying to send to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], although it knows that this is an unknown
user.
Could you tell me how to go about fixing this?
Thanks
Tom
