What was in the "To:" header? What about the envelope sender? Note that this is usually recorded as the "Return-path:" header, or in what is sometimes referred to as the "From_" header. > And here is a message from Mailman's bounce log: > > >Dec 13 09:42:38 2006 (2202) bounce message w/no discernable addresses: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Dec 13 09:42:38 2006 (2202) forwarding unrecognized, message-id: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > For whatever reason, Mailman treated the message-id that AOL gave it as > the sender address...thus causing the "Uncaught bounce notification" > error.

We'd have to look more deeply at all of the headers that were actually present, and then we'd have to look through the code paths to see what might have resulted in that message. Without the that information, we'd just be taking shots in the dark. -- 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.
