*chuckle*

Don't mind me.  I'm just enjoying this timely visit from the Irony Fairy.


I'd be very surprised if Dng has the bounce processing values set at
anything but Mailman defaults.  Those are described here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-admin/node25.html
Oddly, that page doesn't state default values, so those are:

bounce_processing: yes
bounce_score_threshold: 5.0
bounce_info_stale_after: 7
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings: 3
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval: 7
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner: yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_disable: yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_removal: yes

Softfails such as those you describe from the samba.org SMTP host cause
(when delivered back to Mailman) Mailman to increment subscriber's
bounce score by 0.5 for each softfail notice from the subscriber's MTA.

You speak of 'the retry parameters of this list':  That's decided by MTA 
policy (on the mailing list host), not by the MLM software.

I've got a test message trying to go to Rowland and it's running
into the same problem at samba.org.  That test message should go
through eventually but I don't know the retry and bounce parameters
of this list so it's quite possible that a few failures could result
in a bounce.

Rowland, it looks like you need to ssh in and fix samba.org's MX.

Dude, you didn't get even very figuratively slapped in the face.

Anyway, it's great that you want to help.  Personally, I'd suggest,
first, install, run, and get to know Devuan.  Hang out on the mailing
lists and IRC and answer technical questions when you can.  Learn Devuan
Project's institutions and forums, e.g., make some interesting and
useful pages on dev1galaxy.  And thus figure out how you can mesh with
and help build this community.

In anticipation of your doing that, which is not a lot like long
lectures on minimalism, giving Devuan volunteers a hard time and
chewing up their time, and wanting to be individually briefed on what
Devuan desires -- let alone padding your Drupal-deployments portfolio,
which the cynic in me strongly suspects this entire noisy campaign is
about -- thanks in advance.

If you won't do that, oh well -- and please see .signature block.

TTBOMK bounce notifications if they happen happen immediately following
a bounce.

Assuming Rowland has received one or more bounce notifications from
Mailman he can "ssh in and read the relevant logs" for a short period
of time leading up to each bounce notification, as there should be
at least one bounce during that time period.

Maybe it is emergent (heh!) problem requiring a particular combination
of sending and receiving software ? 

I see that smtp.samba.org seems to run exim - are the others 
experiencing bounces and disabled subscriptions also running exim ? 

Also: This isn't strictly a problem, but the highest priority

Thank you, Mike, for attempting to help.  

As I've mentioned upthread, I am a (friendly) _outsider_ to Dyne.org, who
runs and administers Mailman and MTAs elsewhere -- and as such have no
access to Dyne's MTA and MLM logs (nor samba.org's MTA logs).  The best
help I could think of to give Rowland was to strongly suggest that he
contact the sysadmin teams (not the listadmns) of the hosts involved.

FWIW, Mailman listadmins cannot produce the timestamps of 'bounce'
events unless they are also shell users.  I assist Dyne.org's listadmins
on some matters, and know that at least one of those listadmins lacks
shell access (and would speculate that the others do, too).  As I
mentioned, reading MTA logs typically requires root shell, while Mailman
logs merely require shell.

I wish Rowland luck, but will not be assisting further with this
problem.  (If you can think of a way for Dyne.org's listadmin to look up
'bounce' timestamps without host shell access, please help them do so.
Thanks.)

Two of the names you mentioned aren't involved much in Samba any more
and the other lives nearer to you than me. I only mentioned I was a

Rick, please stop name dropping and please stop, just stop.

I have no reason to believe the problem is at the Samba's email server,
very little gets stopped by it.

All I am asking is for some one (probably the person who gets the
bounce reports, if there are such things) to tell me when the mails
were bounced and why.

If you can do this Rick, then great, otherwise, please keep quite.

This happens on a regular basis and not just to me.

Please, let's work through the scenario.  You as rpe...@samba.org
subscribe to dng@lists.dyne.org.  Hypothetically for purposes of
discussion, for some reason the samba.org SMTP host occasionally 
does either SMTP error code 45x tempfail or 45x hardfail of subscriber
copies of a Dng post addressed to you.  Any SMTP Non-Delivery Report
(NDR) or Delivery Status Notification (DSN) notice would be generated
not at samba.org but rather at lists.dyne.org, right?  

Moreover, if for some reason a report were generated at samba.org about
the SMTP refusal, logically it would go to the samba.org sysadmins, not
to Samba 'list moderators' (or listadmins), because the latter have
responsibility for Samba's mailing lists, not Dyne.org's.

That's the model I've been used to, so unless I'm missing something very
different about your situation, the right people to check logs would be
the ones I described.

> Are you aware that I am one of the Samba team members ?

I am, indeed, and I sincerely thank you and the rest of your and the
rest of the Samba Team's work.  Please say a cheery 'Hullo' to my
friends and erstwhile co-workers Andrew Tridgell, Jeremy Allison, and
Rusty Russell.

If so, that's good news, because once appropriate people look at the
appropriate log files, it should be possible to figure out why (it is
claimed) some Dng mail addressed to you from lists.dyne.org keeps
getting either tempfailed or hardfailed.  I would encourage you to
concentrate on contacting one or both sysadmin teams.

If I had shell with root privilege on either the samba.org or
lists.dyne.org host, I'd have been glad to do that work, but sadly I'm
an outsider to both projects.

I apologoise for requiring _three_ responses last night to cover this
matter, but it was quite late in my time zone, and I was rather tired.

Because, if the mails were bouncing, someone would get the bounce
reports and tell me. I get bounce reports for the samba and
samba-technical mailing lists (I am one of the moderators), so I know
what they look like.

Sorry, just noticed the underlined bit.  {scratches head}  It's a
mystery to me how and why Samba's _list moderators_ (by which I'm
guessing you mean Samba's listadmins) would even have relevant data,
let alone convey it to you.

Solving these problems, in my experience, requires at minimum
involvement by site sysadmins with access to read MTA logs one one or
both end (mailing list manager = MLM host and your receiving SMTP host), and
preferably also the MLM's logs.  Mailman's logs are by default
world-readable by shell users.  Typically, MTA logs are not.

Equally, the samba.org system administrators could examine _their_ 
MTA logs to see if/when mail attempts to rpe...@samba.org have recently
been softfail or hardfail refused, and the reasons cited.  You can and
should ask them to.

The advantage of having the var/lib/mailman/logs/bounce* entries from
the Dyne.org end is to get the timestamps of when the bounce score for
subscriber rpe...@samba.org on Dng was incremented -- to then correlate
with MTA events.

Re: [DNG] excessive bounces

dyne.org system administrators can investigate this matter, by
examining the /var/lib/mailman/logs/bounce* log files and 
corresponding MTA log entries on lists.dyne.org -- to see when and why
and when the bounce scores for your Dng membership for rpe...@samba.org
has increased, each time that has happened.

(My understanding is that the listadmins for Dng don't have the root
shell access required for such investigation, but of course other
Dyne.org core people do.)


Bounce processing in GNU Mailman is adjustable as to a number of
parameters used, both site-wide and per-mailing list, but here is how it
goes if using default values:

Each time for whatever reason the MTA detects non-delivery of a
subscriber's copy, subscriber's bounce score gets incremented by 1 if
parsing the MTA diagnostic appears to show a permanent failure, or by
0.5 if the MTA diagnostic appears to show a tempfail.  Each day, if the
subscriber hasn't had a new bounce event within the past 7 days,
subscriber's bounce score resets to zero.  Any day when the subscriber's
bounce score has risen to 5.0, subscription delivery gets disabled.
Once delivery has been disabled (which I gather is what you say was done
to your subscription), the subscriber then gets three 'Your membership
is disabled' autowarning mails, at intervals of a week, explaining what
happened and how to re-enable delivery.  If the subscriber doesn't
respond, after a month, the subscriber gets unsubscribed.

I personally am a (friendly) outsider to dyne.org -- but administer
Mailman elsewhere, and so can explain in general terms how the mechanics
works.  Here's example content from log file
/var/lib/mailman/logs/bounce on my own server, linuxmafia.com:


Dec 24 18:26:43 2018 (23567)  processing 1 queued 
bounces
Dec 24 18:26:43 2018 (23567) skeptic: adity...@sbcglobal.net current bounce 
score: 2.0


Here is the matching MTA error:

# zgrep adity...@sbcglobal.net /var/log/exim4/* | grep 2018-12-24 | grep "SMTP 
error"
/var/log/exim4/mainlog.10.gz:2018-12-24 18:26:42 1gbcPW-00033B-SM ** 
adity...@sbcglobal.net R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail

accepted from servers without a valid sender domain.alph739 Fix reverse DNS for 
198.144.195.186
#


(FWIW, I was somewhat startled to see the claim that my IP address, 
198.144.195.186,
lacks valid DNS reverse pointing back to my mail domain, as that's just not the 
case:

$ dig -x 198.144.195.186 +short
linuxmafia.COM.
$

Someone at prodigy.net is screwing things up, it appears -- maybe
falsely triggering on the FQDN lettercase difference?

But otherwise, I hope the above properly illustrates how Dyne.org sysadmins 
could
research this matter.)

Hi Nick,

ascii-proposed is under "/devuan" not "/merged". Hence you should use:

  deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed main

http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/dists/ascii-proposed/InRelease downloads fine for
