I got the message with the headers sent offlist (recovered from my "Bounces folder) and can see what's happening. The server at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (a newbie subscriber) is misconfigured (figures, it's an MS Exchange server) and is bouncing mail back to the newbie address. The misconfiguration is so bad that the mail is being returned to the newbie list as being from the original sender, in this case you. Sympa sees that and the bounce and sends it back to you. I'm not really sure what should be done with this. The real problem is the server at kaarinateam.fi being so badly done that it's sending mail as though it was from your address. If this was happening on one of my lists I'd likely remove their address from the list and add their IP to my servers iptable as a "drop" address for email (there's no killing an address like overkilling it). ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
