Why is your MTA returning 4xx status to Mailman as a bounce? Your MTA should be retrying these and eventually delivering them. If you're getting "bounces" like "message undeliverable after 4 hours; will keep trying until message is 5 days old" Mailman should be ignoring those. If it isn't, send me a complete, raw copy of the DSN, and I'll fix it and tell you how to fix yours. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
