I think that's from the 'post' log. There should be a more detailed message in Mailman's 'smtp-failure' log. Mailman sends owner notices in two steps. Step 1 - send it to list-owner. Step 2 - receive the mail to list-owner and resend to the owners. If you look in Mailman's 'smtp' log, you can normally see the two entries for the message-id, the first with 1 recipient and the second with recipients = the number of owners. In your case, it seems to be step 2 that fails. Things that can break step 1 are most likely, the -owner suffix missing from the mailman router in the exim config, but in your case it definitely seems to be step 2 as you said >the number of failures listed is always >the number of owners for that list. So what's in the 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs? Just guessing, I think exim may not like the envelope sender (SMTP MAIL FROM command) of the owner notice. I think this is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where mailman is the name of the site list). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
