What messages is Postfix complaining about? It is unclear to me what is going on because under normal circumstances, your local MTA should never return a DSN to the list. If the problem message is a post, the DSN should go to the poster, and if it is a message from Mailman, the DSN should go to some LIST-bounces address. > >These messages appear in the administrator section >because mailer-daemon is not a member of the list, and >so the attempt to access the list by the mailer-daemon >is flagged up for admin attention. If the list is otherwise working, you could add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the list's discard_these_nonmembers (just kidding). >So, question to the helpful: How can I avoid this mail >forwarding loop? > >Please note that the error occurs on a range of >addresses, including an account on the local machine. >I don't think there are any genuine forwarding loops >going on... why should there be? Well, apparently due to aliases (alias_maps, alias_database, virtual_alias_maps, ???) or something, Postfix thinks there are. This seems like a Postfix configuration issue. You might have more success posting this to a Postfix list. >On a different topic, I originally signed up to this >using my own server (on a fixed, domestic IP).

I have a 'home', fixed IP, and I have no problem with python.org lists. Did you receive reject notices for the mail? If so, from where and what did they say? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
