Thanks, I appreciate it. I swear I looked in the FAQs but I guess I was in too much of a hurry. The FAQs do not answer the second part of my question though. That is the problem where messages clearly destined for another mailing list end up in mailman. Interestingly, this only happens a maybe a dozen times since yesterday afternoon and it doesn't happen to all messages. Headers of a example message in my mailman list moderator request page follow my signature. As you can tell from the headers, the message clearly was addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but ended up on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] moderator page as well. I left the message on the moderation page so if someone wants to verify or look at something, I can change the admin password for the list admin page and let them in for a few minutes. To really confuse things, the message does really still show on on the proper list. In other words, the message below, did indeed get delivered just fine to the proper mailing list. I have tried restarting mailman. One other clue: This started about the same time new MX records for my site probably propagated to the rest of the Internet. These new MX records that I created started pointing all incoming mail to mail-abuse-org servers (I am using their new Lanai service). I am leaning to it being a coincidence though because I don't think the timing was quite right but of course I can't know exactly how propagation occurred and the first few messages on the mailman page I just deleted before I started realizing what was happening. Therefore I don't have the "Received:" trail" on those critical first few messages anymore. Plus I just don't see how routing my mail through a SPAM service could possibly make a difference nor could I see this being the culprit if it only happens to a few messages.
