It seems most of this thread was off list until now. >On 5/10/2011 9:15 AM, Ralf Hildebrandt wrote: >> * Dennis Putnam <d...@bellsouth.net>: >>> I have gotten some feedback from my list members.

The problem you see is that monthly password reminders, and only monthly password reminders get discarded somewhere between mail.bellsouth.net and the recipients. There are two things unique about password reminders: 1) They are sent from the 'mailman' site list and thus have envelope from mailman-bounces@... Most other mail is from a non-site list and has envelope from listname-bounces where listname is not mailman. You mentioned in your first post that mailman-bounces doesn't exist. Why not? 'mailman is a list and has a full set of 10 mailman*@... addresses just like any other list. These should all be deliverable. 2) They are ubiquitous - so much so that in some circles, the first of the month is known as "Mailman day". This can cause some spam filters to flag reminders as spam. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
