Could you tell what is wrong, no messages are going currently out or in, MTA is working properly and bounces were handled correctly.
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND xxxxx mailman 25 0 6188 4848 2820 R 94,5 1,8 1192m python
What _could_ cause this kind of looping?
Mailman (see directory) version is 2.1.2
Could it be error 450 (I reject every delivery to non-existent domain):
XXX XX XX:XX:XX 2003 (XXYYZZ) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code 450: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Recipient address rejected: Domain not found
Surely 450 indicates a transient failure which effectively invites the sender to try again.
Maybe, if you return a 550 indicating permanent failure, Mailman will stop trying so hard.
If yes, is there any workaround for this?
