Hmm...so do I, for what it's worth.

Does anyone know if it is possible for me to see these bounces? I
surmise that it is not an actual bounce from my [EMAIL PROTECTED]
account. I'm guessing that the source is a virus forgery.
But if, by some chance, it is a genuine series of bounces, I really
need to know about it because something weird is happening.
Someone with appropriate access could check the Mailman logfiles and see what 
was going on, although it's not clear that there is anything unusual going 
on-- transient failures from DNS lookups or the like can happen, particularly 
given the volume freebsd.org's mail server must deal with.

I've also seen occasional hiccups in list volume where no traffic is sent for 
a day or so, but Mailman seems to get stuck processing its queue of unsent 
messages every once in a blue moon for me, too.

Anyway, try asking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and/or the list admin for this 
list (listed in the headers, probably) if you want to pursue your questions 
further...

There are no configuration issues here: procmail either writes to a
folder, or puts email into $DEFAULT; no EXIT 67 stuff to fake bounces,
or anything fancy at all. Additionally, there is not a chance of a 
quota issue causing mail bounces.

Also, does anyone know how long it is until the counter is reset, and
my bounce score goes back to 0?
