I might add, in the past I followed the instructions to get bounced
messages, I've never once had it work.  I don't get a error or anything
either, like I do if I do something wrong doing something else. 

Just a FYI.

The problem is that if the message is rejected because of filtering the 
first time around, there's a very good chance that it will also be 
filtered on subsequent re-delivery requests.

You can also request redelivery of messages based on the internal numbers
if you follow the help advice in all list message headers.

Now was there (I recall asking about this previously, but I forgot what

I haven't found it, if so.


Some time back I traded some emails with a sysadmin about this, and I'm 
pretty sure there is no way to make that translation.  The number is 
internal to the list software database and is apparently not surfaced 
anywhere except such messages.  In my case, I was usually able to to to 
the archive page for the list, and by displaying as messages (instead of 
threads) identify the one I never received.

I've just had another one.

And *now* I haven't received one of these messages I was talking about
(which would usually appear for every post of mine to the list, albeit
possibly delayed by a few hours), so I guess either the forwarding
problem was fixed or that person is not subscribed to the list anymore.

No, in the case I was writing about, it'd only cause you to get these
failure messages/reports delivered to you, I think precisely because of
the incorrect Microsoft forwarding implementation that'd present you as
the sender.

So it is delivery *to* you that's failing? Hm, seeing you mentioned one
of these message numbers that are internal to the list, I think I now
understand what kind of bounce message you're talking about, sorry for
the confusion.

Now was there (I recall asking about this previously, but I forgot what
the answer was) a way to get a message-ID from that internal number, or
at least a way to get the address of the message's archive copy on the
gentoo website?
