In .muttrc, I changed set time inc=250 to inc=500 ms, and that seems 
to have solved the problem. 

Thanks.

Are you saying the frequency corresponds to messages subscribers send 
to the list? It does not correspond to my own messages to the list.

I'm using mutt. In .muttrc I do not have anything that seems to cull 
empty sender messages. I do specify what header fields to use:

To detect loops I have:

Aha!

In .mailrc I have:

I'll try 500 ms so see how things go.

Thanks for the help.

That corresponds with the frequency of messages to the list.

Correct. what mailer are you running and what setting are you using
to cull empty sender messages.
>Why is dng-bounces sending me  messages? 
Probably because all messages I receive from the lists have 
Sender: "Dng" 

as the sender. This is commonly set on lists so that bounce messages,
and other automated replies(out of office anyone?)  do not pollute the
list. Admins can then go through the bounces and take appropriate
action.
So, in summary, it is a setting in your mailer that creates the error
messages. As a guess you need to relax a time parameter in that your
mailer is closing receipt of header too quickly or the link is dropping
out.

[DNG] frozen messages from dng-bounces

2019-12-16 Thread Haines Brown
I periodically get frozen messages alerts from dng-bounces. Sometimes 
several in a day; sometimes every few days. The time of the message is 
random. I'm runing beowulf. Here is an  example

Is my mailer telling me it has frozen a message from dng-bounces 
because its FROM: field is empty? Why is dng-bounces sending me 
messages?
