If you see that error in /var/log/maillog, it indicates the MTA accepted the message from Mailman at SMTP time and should have returned a non-delivery notification to the envelope sender which is the list's -bounces address and that in turn should be recorded by Mailman as a bounce assuming the list's Bounce processing -> bounce_processing setting is Yes (See Barry Finkel's reply in this thread). In my (Postfix MTA) log I will see things like: May 6 09:45:41 sbh16 postfix/smtp[9314]: D42FD6900F9: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.88.131]:25, delay=7.6, delays=5.4/0.11/0.51/1.6, dsn=5.2.1, status=bounced (host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.88.131] said: 521 5.2.1 : AOL will not accept delivery of this message. (in reply to end of DATA command)) Following the queue-id D42FD6900F9, I see May 6 09:45:41 sbh16 postfix/bounce[9342]: D42FD6900F9: sender non-delivery notification: 95BFB6900E2 and following that queue-id, I see May 6 09:45:41 sbh16 postfix/local[9343]: 95BFB6900E2: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.35, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.34, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces gpc-talk) saying the bounce DSN was delivered to Mailman. Is bounce_processing set to Yes for this list? If not, bounces are just ignored. If so, bounces should be recorded in Mailman's bounce log. In any case, read the Bounce processing section of the list's admin UI for more on available settings and how bounce processing works in Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
