Hi. We're having some problems with qmail and majordomo. I've read the
FAQs on using the two together, the docs on majordomo-inject, the man
pages for qmail-inject and qmail-header, and I still don't quite know what
to do.
The problem occurs when a message sent to a mailing list bounces on one
or more of the mailing list addresses. The return path included in the
message to the list is always invalid, often in the form:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Summersault.com is our domain, the rest of that is related to the invalid
mailing list address.
The result, as you can imagine, is that the bounce bounces, and everything
ends up getting dumped to postmaster. I'm looking for A) someone to tell
me which piece of software is writing that bad return-path header and why,
and B) how to fix things so the the return path is properly set to the
owner of the list.
I know this has probably been discussed/answered before, but in reading
all of the related docs I've become more confused rather than get closer
to a solution, so I'd appreciate your help.
I've included a sample bounced message below for your examination. System
specs: qmail 1.03, majordomo 1.94.4, majordomo-inject.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
