I think I know what is happening , but I want to make sure. A bunch of my list admins are getting bounces like below?
I think it is someone or probably a BOT, trying to subscribe to our lists, But they are using a bad email address so it bounces to the admin. (Our lists are set to confirm/approve for joining). I assume they are just trying to join any lists that don’t have confirm/approve to see if they can then get the users of the list, maybe, What else could they be trying to do? I have seen a couple of different bad emails addresses used, so I just can’t ban this one, I am telling list admins to ignore them. But if they get worse I think they can set this setting to “NO” Should Mailman send you, the list owner, any bounce messages that failed to be detected by the bounce processor? Yes is recommended. (Details for bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner) Which would stop these notifications? But it is recommended to leave it to “yes”. Any other options ideas? Am I on the right track? Here is a bounce example with our list info stripped. *********************************** Error: Invalid user address Error message below: 550 - Requested action not taken: no such user here Message details: Subject: confirm 174c7e02aa6603b72ba30e59c5e24c7fceebd826 Sent date: Wed Apr 14 23:08:48 UTC 2021 MAIL FROM: [email protected] RCPT TO: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: < XXX-software-XXX-request@ mailman.XXX.XXX > To: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Size: 11.3 KiB ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/
