If the MTA (Postfix) is returning a 4xx status for the domain not found, Mailman will move the queue entry to the retry queue and it will be retried (moved back to the out queue) every DELIVERY_RETRY_WAIT seconds (default 1 hour) until it is DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD (default 5 days) old at which time the remaining undelivered recipients will be treated as a bounce. If that is too long to wait, you can shorten the time by setting DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD = days(1) or maybe DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD = hours(12) or whatever in mm_cfg.py, or since the deliverable addresses should have been delivered, simply remove the .pck file from the queue. To be more selective about which recipients to remove, see <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/remove_recips> > I'm using postfix and mailman 2.1.12 under ubuntu 8.04. > > I found item 4.20 in the FAQ, but I'm not sure if it would work and > still working on learning postfix as my normal admin is ill.

Further, it just moves the problem to Postfix which probably keeps retrying at intervals until its expiration time elapses. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
