Yes. > Does mailman detect from the smtp logs or some other method? Bounces are detected in two ways. The bounce you refer to above may, depending on the Postfix configuration, result in a failed recipient with a "550" status being reported during the SMTP transaction between Mailman and Postfix. This should be logged in Mailman's smtp-failure log, queued as a bounce, processed by BounceRunner, scored and logged in Mailman's bounce log. Alternatively, Postfix won't detect the problem during SMTP with Mailman and later, either (in this case) the local Postfix or some downstream MTA will return a failure DSN to the envelope sender which may be LISTNAME-bounces@your.domain or in the case of VERP, LISTNAME-bounces+user=example.com@your.domain. This DSN should be received by Mailman, processed by BounceRunner, recognized, scored and logged in Mailman's bounce log. So first questions, is BounceRunner running? Is there anything in Mailman's qfiles/bounce/ queue or any bounce-events-*.pck files in Mailman's data/ directory? Next, the above partial Postfix log message should also contain a queue ID and be followed by another log message of the form postfix/bounce[pppp]: msg_queue_id: sender non-delivery notification: dsn_queue_id. with the same msg_queue_id as that of the status=bounced log message. What do the logs say about the DSN with queue ID dsn_queue_id? -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
