This is strange on a couple of counts. bout of the above email addresses have local parts that look like domain names and domains equal to yours. This may say that Mailman is actually trying to send just to cva34.internetdsl.tpnet.pl or p43n152.172.63.ruraltel.net. This may be some loop involved in rejecting messages or some kind of 'denial of service' attack on your server. You never mentioned messages incomming to Mailman. Are there any? If you look at the list's Privacy options generic_nonmember_action and header_filter_rules actions if any, are these set to Reject? If so, try changing them to Hold or Discard and see what happens (Hold will give more information if this is the problem). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
