Maybe not.

It's somehow all my fault. A figment of my imagination. I may not be 
responsible, but it's my fault. Whatever it is.

Thanks Benjamin! Insatiable curiosity somewhat ameliorated for the present.

The fact that knowledgeable people answer my silly questions/complaints on 
these mailing lists is just another reason I am so devoted to Mandrake. :-)

The addictive nature of v9.0 so far may be another.

Hi Anne;

I spoke too soon, I get it no matter which list I post to. 

I remember the last time this was going on was also the only time this e-mail 
account ever got spammed. I wonder.. :-(

Let's hope the address is taken off the mailing list subscribers by Mandrake 
now that I see others complaining about it on cooker.

Charlie, the ones returned to me from the netherlands showed
that they had been sent by me to an address in the NL, but that
my mail showed a Reply To address at hotmail.
In other words, my post to Newbie had the header changed to
a different addressee and showing a Hotmail "Reply to" 
address.  If the post had gone out to the list and bounced
from a list member, it should have had Newbie as the Reply
To address.

Weird!  ???

Hotmail? I just looked at the headers for the one I just received 'cause I 
sent the original "whine" to the list. It's from hetnet.nl wherever and 
whoever they are. :-) 

This address is the only one I've ever used for the Mandrake mail lists. It's 
the busiest of the 5. Especially subscribed to cooker lately. :-)

We had this before, with a different address.  I think the explanation was 
that someone had subscribed with an address covered by a firewall/company 
postserver, or some such, which was rejecting his copy of the posts, 
resulting in the sender getting his copy bounced.  After a week or so the 
offending name must have been struck off, because the problem stopped.

I think I didn't make myself clear Bob. My messages get to the list most of 
the time but I was getting those notices directly from an ISP's (hetnet) 
postmaster application in the Netherlands. Someone must have subscribed with 
a bogus address or something.

I see it was reported on the cooker list too. Maybe it's handled now since the 
last message didn't trigger that stuff.

No, you aren't the only one. It has been happening to me as well.
I see this one got thru though.

This must be a problem at Mandrake.  I have forwarded one to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and included a backround note.

Maybe someone on this list has a more direct connection?
Of course I don't know if this one will  get through,

[newbie] [OT]"Nondeliverable messages?"

2002-09-19 Thread Charlie M.

I'm getting "Nondeliverable message" notices from:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
every time I send a message to this list. I don't recall ever sending anything 
direct to this person and if they don't choose to read my messages that's 
fine. This seems to say there is no such address though.

Am I the only one this is happening to?

This is all I get back:

--Transcript of session follows ---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The system cannot find the path specified.

plus my messages returned as attachments. Both messages from today were posted 
and I don't have a reply to address specified in this mail client so why do I 
get this direct if the message is undeliverable? Shouldn't this be going to 
sympa?
