Hi, Yesterday a list send a lot of mails to the list-admin. 2/3 per second sometimes. Now my mail access has been cut of due to that (what's normal). What could the problem be? The installation has run without trouble for over a year. I'm using exim and the mailman in Debian Stable Relevant logs: 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006ej-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=student (student.UGent.be) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=3744 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=student (student.UGent.be) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=3744 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006ej-00 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006ej-00 -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006ej-00 Completed 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:15:04 1B3dhA-0006el-00 Completed (above are subscribers of the list) a bit later (no logs with guk in during 10 minutes): mail from "guk": note: nobody sent to guk! 2004-03-17 17:24:12 1B3dq0-0006vo-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=468 sends mail to list admin: 2004-03-17 17:24:12 1B3dq0-0006vo-00 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=tarzan.ugent.be [157.193.40.45] 2004-03-17 17:24:12 1B3dq0-0006vo-00 Completed ok and guk sends again a lot of mails: 2004-03-17 17:24:49 1B3dqb-0006xH-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=632 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqb-0006xJ-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xO-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xQ-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xV-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xb-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xg-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xj-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xr-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqb-0006xH-00 => guk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D=list_admin_director T=list_admin_transport 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqb-0006xH-00 Completed 2004-03-17 17:24:50 1B3dqc-0006xw-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:51 1B3dqc-0006y1-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:51 1B3dqb-0006xJ-00 => guk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D=list_admin_director T=list_admin_transport 2004-03-17 17:24:51 1B3dqb-0006xJ-00 Completed 2004-03-17 17:24:51 1B3dqd-0006yA-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:51 1B3dqd-0006yC-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:52 1B3dqc-0006xO-00 => guk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D=list_admin_director T=list_admin_transport 2004-03-17 17:24:52 1B3dqc-0006xO-00 Completed 2004-03-17 17:24:52 1B3dqc-0006xV-00 => guk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D=list_admin_director T=list_admin_transport 2004-03-17 17:24:52 1B3dqc-0006xV-00 Completed 2004-03-17 17:24:52 1B3dqd-0006yH-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=guk P=local S=633 2004-03-17 17:24:52 1B3dqc-0006xb-00 => guk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D=list_admin_director T=list_admin_transport and that goes on... and on...
