This user has already been removed from the list.  The problem is 
at tiscali.be, but we're not going to wait for them to get their 
system fixed.

In the future, please report these kinds of problems to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you the list admin or just a member of the list?

If you are the list admin, you can adjust the maximum allowable message
size on the list's General Options page. If not, you can discuss this
with the list owner or as another reply suggests, you can put large
things on a web site and just post URLs to the list.

If the attached file problem is because posts with attached files are
too big, see the previous paragraph. If it is because the attachments
are being stripped out, see the list's Content filtering page or
discuss this with the list owner.

Set the limit for emails higher (or put the large attacjments on a
Webserver and mail the URL).

I have found that in most such cases it's PEBKAC.

The above is part of the destruction of email that the spammers have
accomplished.

Note that it's not just the ISP.  We regularly get support calls about mail
not being received, when the logs clearly show that the message was
deposited into the user's mailbox and later picked up by the user's machine.
Something on the user's machine (our users primarily run Windows of some
vintage) has filed, dropped, or done whatever to the message.

[Mailman-Users] "bounce" message from misconfigured mail host(s) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Returned mail: User unknown]

2005-10-26 Thread Hannah Schroeter
Hello!

I'm getting "bounces" like this from a misconfigured site which bounces
to the header From instead of the envelope from.

Perhaps that recipient should just be removed from the list?

The "bounce" has envelope from
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  (should be empty!)
header from
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and stems from
  [193.74.71.21] (helo=xizor.is.scarlet.be)
  (helo matches the reverse-mapping of the IP, double reverse check
  matches)

Its received lines seem to be echoed from the original mail (bad!).

The upmost received lines from the original mail are:
  Received: from (smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl [194.109.24.30])
by fundy.is.scarlet.be  with ESMTP id j9NJNaoW011305
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:36 +0200
  Received: from bag.python.org (bag.python.org [194.109.207.14])
by smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id j9NJNV5u040983
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:36 +0200 (CEST)
(envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
  Received: from bag.python.org (bag [127.0.0.1])
by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0E2B1E411D
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:14 +0200 (CEST)

So something at or after smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl or fundy.is.scarlet.be is
heavily misconfigured. Please fix this (CC is set to people who could be
responsible): DSNs should have an empty (null) envelope sender and
should be sent *only* to the envelope sender of the original message,
the header (From/Reply-To) should never be evaluated for creating
DSNs/bounces.

Kind regards,

Hannah.

I don't know whether there's a specific knob in mailman itself, but
you could either just not publish the list info address at all, or
deny access to it, using appropriate web server configuration (access
control or rewrite rules to show explanatory text instead).
