I tried asking this on mailman-users, and got totally ignored both times I
asked. Here is my problem: One of my mailing list users has an ISP that
refuses email for hours at a time, and the ISP that they get their email
through, panix.com, sends a warning if it's undelivered for four hours.
Problem is, mailman treats that warning as an error, and if it happens for
a few days in a row (even if the problem corrects itself for part of the
day and delivers the mail), it bounces her off my mailing lists.
The problem is that I don't know Python. As far as I can tell, the fix to
ignore these warnings should go in Mailman/Bouncers/Postfix.py, but that's
all I can figure out. Can somebody help me?
Here is a sanitized version of the bounce:
