Thanks for the tip -- this sounds like it's most likely what I need to fix. I'll read up and see if I can't nail this. > This doesn't look like a message from Mailman.

Hmmm... It just so happens that this listname coincides with a former alias that forwarded messages to the same people. The aliases file looks OK, but I wonder if sendmail is getting the info from someplace else. I need to test this process with a list that doesn't have this issue. > What Mailman version is this? 2.1.9 > OutgoingRunner picks up the oldest qfiles/out/*.pck file, gets the > message and metadata from it and passes them to SMTPDirect.py for > processing.

Thanks for the info -- this helps me understand what's going on better. kyle ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
