SHORT VERSION...sending to "-owner" gets delivered fine, but sending to "-admin" gets vanishes (no bounce) and tallys a bounce count against the owner address. What would cause this??
LONG VERSION... BACKGROUND: - I have an announcement-style Mailman list (let's call it LIST) - LIST is hosted on a shared web server running cPanel - LIST is configured to send the owner subscription notifications THE PROBLEM: - A few weeks ago, I stopped getting subscription notifications - A few days later, I got a message from Mailman saying that my address had excessive bounces and was disabled. I had to re-enable MY OWN subscription. This prompted me to test the "LIST-owner" and "LIST-admin" addresses... - The "-owner" address is delivered to me just fine. - The "-admin" address never delivers. No bounce msg to sender either. - EVEN WORSE...each mail sent to "-admin" seems to get treated as a BOUNCE event against MY (owner) address! WHAT I'VE DONE: - I have checked my /etc/valiases/<domain> file and all the forwarders to mailman are exactly as they used to be. All looks perfect. - I tried creating a brand new list with all default settings...same problem. - I got other people from my web host to try the same on other servers...some work fine, and some servers have the same problem as mine. ANY IDEAS?? I found this thread from 3 years ago which seems to be a similar problem, but the thread fizzled without a solution: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-May/028650.html I'm ready to pull my hair out!
