I would run swaks from the same box on which you run Mailman, and use -f with whatever Mailman uses as the envelope sender address for posts, If you have VERP personalization turned on, this would be a "bounces" address. Send to a sample (test) address that's on the list, and use -s with the FQN of the server which your Mailman installation uses. All of this assumes, of course, that you're using postfix as a SMTP server (DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' as opposed to DELIVERY_MODULE='Sendmail'). If you're using the latter, then swaks won't help you. BTW, it would be a good idea if you'd cc questions such as this to the list. There are some very good minds on the list who might well chime in helpfully, and/or critique my response. > I'm running on too much stress, too little sleep/food ;) > > > On 10/24/2012 2:17 PM, Lindsay Haisley wrote: > > On Wed, 2012-10-24 at 11:06 -0700, Brad Knowles wrote: > >>> Another very useful tool for analyzing mail issues is swaks. > >> > >> Now that's a tool I had not heard of before.
