In that case, they are probably real, legitimate bounces of bad addresses. The hard failures have probably all been disabled by now. > Mailman's smtp-failure log contains many instances of lines like this > (edited, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> is the list > administrator) > > Jan 12 20:48:44 2010 (70977) Low level smtp error: Connection > unexpectedly closed, msgid: > <[email protected] <http://mysite.com> > > Jan 12 20:48:45 2010 (70977) delivery to [email protected] > <http://mysite.com> failed with code -1: Connection unexpectedly closed > > There are also a few like this: > > Jan 12 20:02:54 2010 (70977) Low level smtp error: (48, 'Address already > in use'), msgid: <[email protected] > <http://mysite.com> > > Jan 12 20:02:54 2010 (70977) delivery to [email protected] > <http://mysite.com> failed with code -1: (48, 'Address already in use') > > > These log messages commenced on Jan 12 (today). If they only started today, I don't know what the issue might be. There is a bug in the Python email library that can cause problems if you have a lot of bad addresses. See <http://bugs.python.org/issue5713>. But that shouldn't be the issue here. I don't have a clue what the 'Address already in use' message means. Check your MTA's logs.
