Hi, Sorry if this is a bit vague.
I give an excerpt from a log file today. One of many with slightly different wordings depending on which server was responding. Some reporting me as 'exceeding the limit for bounced messages'. Oct 30 16:02:39 jason postfix/smtp[11547]: B6883E81A7: to=<[email protected]>, relay=smtp.isdsl.net[196.26.208.193]:25, conn_use=5, delay=45, delays=0.02/0/0.24/45, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host smtp.isdsl.net[196.26.208.193] said: 550 Sorry, I don't accept bounce messages with a invalid recipient. (in reply to RCPT TO command)) (some of the bounce addresses _were_ valid, I checked one, got an answer back from the addressee, but that could be a different issue) Verp is on as you can see. But on a run last week without verp we were left in the same situation as described here. There were a lot similar to this. I note that get_bounce_info shows no bounce information when I ran it after the run. anne@jason:~ ssh$ sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist -r get_bounce_info fables-list Importing get_bounce_info... Running get_bounce_info.get_bounce_info()... Loading list fables-list (unlocked) Bounce info for fables-list list ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ Finalizing ditto bounce results for a small test list as well which has deliberate dud addresses on. Further, since I am running this through a relay, the relevant email account fables-list-bounces@ shows no activity whatsoever today. No bounce mail passed through there. Not a doubt that I should have had a lot of bounces on this list which has been dormant for months, and the log file did show plenty. Any idea where I might find the holdup? I suspect either the postfix configuration or something to do with the smtp relay isp. I don't think the bounces get back to the isp email account, are then not downloaded, are then not processed. ??? regards Anne ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
