I've been using Unix and the Internet for over twenty-two years, a professional Unix system administrator for over seventeen years, and specializing in managing Internet e-mail systems for over fourteen years. Congratulations, this is a first -- I don't recall having ever seen this particular error message before in my life. And at this stage in my career, I don't get too many of those. This is almost certainly a problem in your local MTA, where Mailman is unable to hand off messages to the mail server for some reason. What MTA are you using -- is it Exim? How is that configured? Have you checked the MTA logs, to see what it says about this issue? Have you checked to make sure that your DNS is configured correctly? Have you checked the relevant FAQ entries regarding MTA problems and non-delivery issues? Have you checked your MTA configuration to make sure that it is turning off all anti-spam/anti-virus checks for all outbound messages, as suggested in the FAQ? If you can't do that, can you at least confirm that your anti-virus scanning system is working properly? -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006. If you have an old e-mail account for me at this domain, please make sure you correct that with the current address. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
