I also looked more closely at the smtp log you sent earlier. There are a huge number of mailman generated notices that originate from BounceRunner. All lists appear affected. I think these are unrecognized bounce notifications. I have suggested before that there may be a large amount of spam being sent to the LIST-bounces addresses, but there may also be a mail loop of some kind. I suggest that you make sure that each list's (including the 'mailman' list) owner attribute contains only deliverable addresses and that none of the LIST-* addresses are among them. Similarly, if there are any moderator addresses, they must be deliverable and must not include any LIST-* addresses and shouldn't duplicate any owner addresses for the same list. Also try sending an email to the LIST-owner addresses to verify such mail is received. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
