Good afternoon all,

I manage a few listservs (maintaining members and tending pending posts) and today I have 
received almost 80 separate "Uncaught bounce notification" emails for one of 
the lists. There are rarely any for this list and I would like to know if there is 
something I can do to stop the spam. I have received 5 more while typing this email. I am 
not a tech person but any suggestions are welcome.



These are almost certainly spam sent to the list-bounces address as 
opposed to real bounces that are not recognized.


You need to install some kind of spam filtering in the MTA ahead of Mailman.

As Barry Finkel says, see

Mailman is NOT listserv.  Listserv is a different mailing list
management software from Lsoft.

What is the content of the emails you've received? I mean at least give us
a sample.
You can obfuscate email addresses if you want, but not the actual error.
