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.
Is this copy of the message as pulled from the moderator page for [EMAIL PROTECTED], or from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If this is from the moderator page for [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can't explain what happened. The message was clearly addressed to a different list, received by heavyiron.atis.net, but then somehow delivered to the wrong recipient address. I would check your aliases, any virtual domain settings, etc... within your MTA.
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.
I'd be curious to see exactly what is currently there.
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).
Lanai service? I've been a stop.mail-abuse.org user since the service was created, and I've not heard of this one. I'll have to check their website.
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.
Unfortunately, those first few messages might have contained an important clue. Or not. But there's no way to find out.
