This is because "listname"-admin is a deprecated alias for "listname"-bounces, however the fact that the unrecognized bounce notice appears to be To: the "listname"-owner address is misleading because it is actually sent directly to the list owner(s) > - if I send to "listname"-owner, I do not receive any email at all, > as if the email has been delivered to /dev/null. And this is the issue because the daily pending requests email is sent to "listname"-owner to be resent to the owners and moderators. > And in the > standard mail log of the server I get: > "" > postfix/smtpd[3880]: connect from bsmtpdelivery6.xs4all.net[194.109.127.155] > postfix/smtpd[3880]: 3814C216C: > client=bsmtpdelivery6.xs4all.net[194.109.127.155] > postfix/cleanup[3884]: 3814C216C: > message-id=<20171211153550.7fb31e1d@fiume5.localnet> > postfix/qmgr[2642]: 3814C216C: from=<char...@stremen.xs4all.nl>, size=1455, > nrcpt=1 (queue active) > postfix/smtpd[3880]: disconnect from > bsmtpdelivery6.xs4all.net[194.109.127.155] > postfix/local[3885]: 3814C216C: to=<dehoutblazers-ow...@stremen.xs4all.nl>, > relay=local, delay=0.36, delays=0.13/0.01/0/0.22, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent > (delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner dehoutblazers) > postfix/qmgr[2642]: 3814C216C: removed So the mail to -owner is delivered properly to Mailman. > postfix/smtpd[3880]: connect from localhost[::1] > postfix/smtpd[3880]: warning: Illegal address syntax from localhost[::1] in > MAIL command: <mailman-bounces@> > postfix/smtpd[3880]: disconnect from localhost[::1] > "" So the issue here appears to be the smtp MAIL FROM command is from <mailman-bounces@> instead of from <mailman-boun...@stremen.xs4all.nl> > There are pending pending moderator requests in the list > so I tried a manual cron command (as user "mailman"): > "" > /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/checkdbs > "" > Nothing happened, the offending emails are not removed, and I did > not receive any email. You didn't receive mail because mail to "listname"-owner doesnb't work, and cron/checkdbs never does anything with pending moderator requests other than report them. > With the mail log below Which is the same issue as above. > Apparently, the is something wrong with the email message sender > or recipient as formatted by mailman, but to me everything seems OK. > I am the owner and the moderator. > > Is there a way to see what mailman is actually transferring to > the postfix program? See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030716> for a way to enable vastly increased SMTP logging. However, the issue appears to be that Utils.get_site_email(extra='bounces') is returning 'mailman-bounces@' This can occur if your settings for DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, and add_virtualhost() directives in mm_cfg.py are broken in some way. In particular, if you have some add_virtualhost() directive with a null string as the second argument. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
