Hi guys, We've got a problem with a half-completed delivery run, somehow an address with a ? at the end of the domain managed to get into the list addresses, ie, something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of just [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... now exim drops the connection when it sees this address, which means that none of the recipients in that run receives the message.
Firstly, mailman should not have accepted that address, but this may have been fixed (this is a rather old version, no, I can't upgrade it, nor am I allowed to fix the exim config ... don't even bother asking). What I want to know is how mailman handles the message delivery runs. Afaik each message that needs to go out is stored in some location, along with a list of recipients, so periodically mailman checks which messages needs to go out, and to which recipients, and it then tries to make those deliveries, removing the recipients that it successfully delivers. Is there a manual way to remove the problem-causing email addy from this list for the particular message? We've already removed it from the main list so it won't cause issues in future but it's now holding up the delivery of an already sent message.
