You say "we don't have such an user on our server". Does this mean that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not a member of the "fk" list? Is there an address on that list for which there is an alias in your MTA that is redirecting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in some way? It looks like your MTA is returning a "450" status for this error. This means Mailman is going to queue this message in the retry queue and keep retrying it, but normally only once in 15 minutes, not every few seconds. Look at your Mailman logs 'post', 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' and at the contents of Mailman's qfiles/retry/ directory (queue) for clues. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
