It is a true bounce - mail is being rejected. The error message is phrased as a "temporary failure," but the message is bounced at the SMTP transaction. “At some point,” they stop bouncing. RR won’t say when that happens. <u...@roadrunner.com>: delivery temporarily suspended: host cdptpa-pub-iedge-vip.email.rr.com[107.14.166.70] refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.1 - Connection refused - <66.33.216.56> - Too many concurrent connections ( <2> ) from source IP >> http://postmaster.rr.com/spam#ratelimit >> >> If so, what did you do to resolve the problem?

I think "find another > one" is a great idea, personally. On this instance, they haven’t been very helpful. For the most part, though, they have been decent. The largest of my lists that I admin has over 7600 subscribers, with about 15 emails going out daily - that’s about 115K total emails a day, and for the price I am paying DH, I haven’t found anywhere near a better deal. So I accept these (occasional) issues along with the deal I’m getting. -Conrad -- See something, Say something. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
