   7587

  well the last one I've got ( Fri, 06 Mar 2009 00:00:09 + )

  Hi, this is the mlmmj program managing the mailinglist
  
  dwm@suckless.org
  
  Some messages to you could not be delivered. If you're seeing this
  message it means things are back to normal, and it's merely for your
  information.
  
  Here is the list of the bounced messages:
  
  7617
  ==CUT==
  
  right now the archive counts 7610 mails. I presume this is updated
  only once a day or something?
  
  so I can wait a day or so before looking which mail bounced, but still:
  is there an easy way to find, e.g, message no. 4321?
  
  until a few weeks ago I've never seen such bouncing messages. it does'nt
  occur with any other list, too.
  
  regards,
  joerg
  
 
 Hi,
 
 sorry for such a late reply,
 
 first: yes, web archive is not updated live but twice a day.
 
 That messages you are receiving are just bounce test as reaction to
 mlmmj receiving bounce message (itself as consequnce of mlmmj trying to
 send you a message from mail-list).
 
 I had saved one bounce message mlmmj received from your MX, and it looks
 like your MX is acting very strangely (bounce message attached to this
 email). 
 
 I hope that it will help you to solve the problem, because from what I
 can get from bounce message and mail-logs, it looks like problem on your
 side.
 
 Regards,

 Joerg, you should check your mail client to see if it's sending out
 delivery status notifications (DSNs).  What's happening is that your
 mail client, or your mail server, is responding back to the message

I presume, it's our IMAP server in central IT. I'll forward your message.

I'm using `mutt' (which at least
claims to suck less than other mail clients) and AFAICS should have
nothing to do with the delivery notification, right?

 saying I got it!  mlmmj (the list software used at suckless.org, which
 I happen to have contributed to) treats any response to the envelope
 sender address as a bounced message.

naive question: would it harm if mlmmj would treat the DSN has
harmless/irrelevant instead of 'bounced'?

 
 I'm guessing there's some sender on the list who requests delivery
 status notifications on their outbound messages, and this is why you
 only see the bounces occasionally.

I start to get the picture.

 
 I'll refrain from expounding on my opinion of DSNs.  Check the Internet
 if you're curious.

I always am.


thanks again,

No, but you can use XMMP with any IRC client through bitlbee. The best news
(for me) is that the development version of WeeChat already have a beta
jabber plugin. Next release will be almost the perfect IM (not IRC) client
ever.

Hope this helps,

No, that's not possible. If you look on that bounce message carefully
you will see that your MX is sending it as MAILERDAEMON ( address to
be precise) so that's fully featured bounce message. 

 
  
  I'm guessing there's some sender on the list who requests delivery

Well, I searched dwm archive and there's no email with header

 Maybe the guy likes a challenge :)
 
  irssi is pretty light...
 
 The irssi processes on my multi-user server are currently the second
 biggest memory users.  Behind them are the web server, the SMTP, IMAP,
 and POP3 servers, bitlbee, and even the IRC server!

Well, there's problem with perl scripts leaking and memory fragmentation
etc. so there's simple solution -- doesn't use any scripts in irssi.
Also, you can use /upgrade command from time to time. It just reexec
irssi, but your configuration will remain same and you will still use
that pretty same connection to irc server -- no quits+rejoins.

 
 It certainly isn't anywhere near as heavyweight as, say, pidgin, but I'd
 stop short of calling irssi pretty light.  I'm pretty sure it weighs
 in heavier than any other text-mode client.

quite generally, no. very rarely, I've to use a web-browser interface to

the server side, I'll try to check with IT).

meaning it's mysterious, _why_ our server spills out his DSNs?

wait what central IT is going to say and let you know their answer.
