The problem is that neither of the two addresses currently bouncing back to the list are subscribed to the list, so there is no way to unsubscribe them. The bounce messages are coming back from the domains of the bad addresses, not from TOMCAT-USER. -- - Torgeir Craig McClanahan

RE: PLEASE fix mailing list bounces!
The problem is that neither are directly subscribed to the list - they are the result of mail forwards (I've already asked Craig about this). The only way to find the bad addresses would be to send an email to every address separately and determine which outgoing message produced the failure.

And it IS possible to do just that without interfering with normal operation; just add a random character (to a header field which get replied) for each normal ML message which is different for each recipient. -- - Torgeir

Torgeir Veimo typed the following on 06:12 PM 3/28/2001 +0200 The problem is that neither are directly subscribed to the list - But shouldn't the reply-to field point to the mailing list address instead of the original mailer? The Sender address is the one which mail servers should use to decide who to send bounces to, and it should be set to the list admin who can remove the offending address. Some servers are misconfigured to send bounces to the From or Reply-to address, which is wrong. K
