I have recently installed mailman, and have currently set up a list with two subscribers to test it out.
Mailman is set up and is working fine. However, one of the list members never gets any posts. There are no bounces, no indication that anything has gone wrong. Just no posts. The server/MTA (exim4) that is running mailman can send email directly to the problem email address, and it gets through to the user no problem. It is only when the email comes from the mailman list that it gets silently dropped. The only potentially useful log I can see is the "connection timed out" lines in the exim4 logs, which are the only thing showing that exim is trying to send the email and it isn't getting through: 2005-02-10 11:28:28 1CzGvq-00060p-VL == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (110): Connection timed out 2005-02-10 11:28:36 1CzH58-00061V-DZ mailserver.example.org [0.0.0.0]: Connection timed out (email address, mailserver and ip changed in above) There are no bounces or other errors in the mailman logs. I am guessing that my list is being caught in a spam filter; it sounds like this entry from the FAQ; http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.042.htp. However, given that regular emails are getting through, and given that mailman is running on a recently set up domain/ip address which has never done anything to hurt anyone before, this seems unlikely. Any other thoughts on how to figure out what exactly is happening to these posts?
