A couple of minutes ago, I started receiving LOTS of emails back from a server. All my postings over the last 10 days or so to this list are coming back...like this one:

--------------------------- Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender Fra: Mail Delivery System Til: vk@os-academy.dk

Hehe, I got the same, guess almost everyone gets those mails, it's generated from a postfix program from a list subscriber.. don't ask me why or who, but it happend.

The broken server is pat1outside.trollnet.no. I just saw in the log, that this server tried to bounce back a lot of mails to my list address. Since my server does not accept mails to my list address except from the listserver I am spared this crap. In fact, that is exactly the reason why I configured this check apart from the spammers that like to harvest the list archive for valid addresses. Among 2000 subscribers there's always someone with a broken server every other month or so. :-( -- Sandy List replies only please!

Hi all.

That would be my badly misconfigured mailserver. Its taken down until further notice.

I miss my old postfix+dovecot setup. :(

If I remember correctly, your setup complained, that it couldn't resolve the name "localhost". Please verify, that localhost is included in /etc/hosts and that /etc/nsswitch.conf contains hosts: files dns A more robust way to configure Postfix is zu use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost". Then Postfix does not have to rely on hostname resolution for internal transports. -- Sandy List replies only please!

Somebody has a broken mail server. The list manager should unsub this

The list _software_ should. Mailman could do it.

Yes, that's true, mailman does that automatically. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
