Sorry, I did miss it somehow. I will post against this topic, since it is more appropriate.
I am an end-user of a rented server. I do not have access to mailman directly. What is "MTA"? I did discover three things. 1) The person getting the unwanted message sent me a copy and it was to <list>-owner@<example.com> from mailman-bounces@<example.com> 2) When I added the list through the control panel, it automatically placed a forwarder (only one) in the forwarder list: owner-<list>@<example.com> ==>>> <list>-admin@<example.com> 2) Two people DID GET it that I did not expect and I found both addresses as forwarded from the "Default Address Maintenance" where "All unrouted mail will be sent". SO... I get the message for being in the moderator field as I should and they get it for unrouted mail. "<list>-owner" instead of "owner-<list>" should be forwarded. This is my working theory!! I have an idea of this is the course of action, but those more familiar can advise. THUS... what do I need to do or get the provider to fix?

Generally, internally generated Mailman owner notifications are sent to list-owner at example.com and only after being received at that address are they resent to the admin and moderator addresses. So check what the MTA is doing with the list-owner address (aliases, something else?). Also check Mailman's smtp log. You'll normally see two entries with the same message id. The first for 1 recipient (the mail to list-owner) and the second perhaps a couple of seconds later for 'n' recipients which will tell you how many admins/moderators it is sent to. If you send mail directly to list-owner at example.com, does he get it? -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro at value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
