Does anyone else get these blank failed deliveries?
Every time I send a message to the Cygwin/X list I get an empty bounce with the following headers:- From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Dec 17 15:53:40 2004 From: Mail Delivery Subsystem [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Returned mail: User unknown To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 15:48:04 + (GMT) Is anyone else experiencing this? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

Someone (or a worm) is using your mail address to send infected mails. Just ignore them. You can't make it stop anyway. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

There is only one person from ise.de subscribed to the mailing list. I've unsubscribed that person. I guess if I don't get a bounce, I'll know if that was the right thing to do or not... cgf

It's something more subtle than the usual though as it is definitely only happening when I send mail to the Cygwin/X list, one of these Returned mail: errors for each message I send to the list. I get all sorts of other junk but this is the only one that has these odd (and consistent) characteristics. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

Incidentally, if this type of thing happens in the future, the best way to correct the problem is to send the *complete* text (plus all headers) of the bounce to cygwin-xfree-owner at cygwin dot com. Yes, OK, I realised I hadn't sent the complete headers. However I had sent the complete text, there wasn't any, it was always an empty message. - Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

Hm. I had did not get the response when sending to the list otherwise I'd have kicked him earlier. Well whatever the list owner did it has fixed the problem. This is a typical mailing list problem that happens with certain mailers or specific configurations. When the mailbot receives an error from one of the mail accounts on the list as it relays your message it will then pass that error back to you (or maybe the mail server generating the error just sends it straight back to the you, the sender, because your address is the originating e-mail account). This happens on another list I'm on from time to time when someone's e-mail account has problems or goes inactive. It is the same reason you, the sender, can occasionally get a 'out of office' reply from one of the list members when you send the list a message. Rob
