Our SMTP server has a limitation in the number of messages it can send per hour, so it started to reject messages, and the Mailman server interpreted then as bounces. Until now, everything normal.
What seem strange is that some error messages appeared in the mailing list archive page. These lines were taken from the "archive by date" page: # [CA-info] Status The Post Office # [CA-info] Returned mail: Data format error Mail Delivery Subsystem # [CA-info] Mail System Error - Returned Mail Automatic Email Delivery Software The archive is supposed to show the messages that were send to the list. This means that all subscribers receibed these error message? Or mailman get confused and put these message in the archive? This is the content of one of the messages that were in the archive: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The original message was received at Tue, 6 Jun 2006 12:52:32 +0100 from meusite.pt [180.66.14.200] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <lista-info at meusite.pt> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- while talking to meusite.pt.: >>> MAIL From:"The Post Office" <postmaster at meusite.pt> <<< 501 "The Post Office" <postmaster at meusite.pt>...
