You asked how to redirect bounces to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address (the posting address for the site list) and that's what's happening. >Reporting-MTA: dns; utc80.name.com >Received-From-MTA: DNS; localhost >Arrival-Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 16:13:39 -0800 (PST) > >Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Action: failed >Status: 5.1.1 >Remote-MTA: DNS; mailhost.name.com >Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...

Mailman doesn't know anything about what addresses are or are not deliverable, and since you have effectively disabled automatic bounce processing, it can never find out. My best guess here is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a member of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. If that's not it, I don't know what is. Does that notice contain a copy of the original message? if so, what is it? Or does it keep growing as the same bounce keeps rebouncing? This is an interesting issue. Every message from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list had better be deliverable or you will get a bounce loop. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
