My guess is that one or more mail providers are bouncing your messages.

If you've got access to your mail server logs you can check them.  If you 
don't, you can set Mailman to send you a copy of any bounce messages, 
though be careful as if 97.5% of your list is being bounced off then your 
inbox might get swamped.

I suspect that bounce processing is deleting members. Check Mailman's
bounce, subscribe and smtp-failure logs.

I also suspect your server is blacklisted and recipient servers are
rejecting all your mail. Check your outgoing MTA's logs.

[Mailman-Users] what's going on ???

2010-03-03 Thread Khalil Abbas

hi,

 

I have 2 lists on the same server containing 40,000 subscribers, 20,000 in each 
list ..

 

I've been getting hundreds of complaints from people that they're not getting 
any mail from the lists.. I checked the lists and found that LIST1 has only 574 
members!! while the other list (LIST2) has not changed.. I re-uploaded the list 
from backup and after sometime it gets down to 500+ subscribers!! then I 
switched subscribers between the lists and now LIST2 is having he 500 
subscribers and LIST1 hasn't changed !! knowing that ALL addresses in the lists 
are valid! 

 

please help!

 

 

Thanks..
