Sum up of the mail exchange:

=====

Sylvain --

Given the quantity of successful hits it produces, no -- I don't believe we're going to change this.

Currently no CVS commits for project MLDonkey make it on the

The only thing that I did was set -email is unavailable- to nomail, in order to stop the flood of mails.

I didn't alter any other configuration settings.

Cheers,

Hi,

I am one of the administrators of -email is unavailable-
and was wondering why -email is unavailable- got status
nomail[A], the last commits I did returned to me with

  -email is unavailable-
    SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data:
    host mx10.gnu.org [199.232.76.166]: 550 Administrative prohibition

If you wanted to catch my attention, now you have it;-)
I did not do any changes to the lists configuration in months
and I am not aware of someelse doing so.
Anything I can do?

Howdy folks --

This looks to be an issue specific to spamgourmet.com's MTA not playing particularly well with Mailman. In order to recognize bounce messages, Mailman (among other ways) uses the RFC-defined Errors-To mail header expecting an RFC compliant MTA to send bounce messages to that specially crafted email address. As a fallback, it also looks at emails with null-return paths and compares them to known bounce formats.

The bounces coming from spamgourmet.com 1) are coming to -email is unavailable- instead of the mldonkey-commits-bounces email address specified in the Errors-To; and 2) are coming from -email is unavailable- instead of a null-return path. Combined, Mailman failed to recognize these as bounces.

As to why they actually got posted to the list, I'm not sure -- unless your list configuration has changed recently. Right now the list is configured as non-public and -email is unavailable- is not a subscriber to the list. If an admin hasn't reconfigured the list recently, let me know and I'll investigate this point further.

Cheers.

I am simply a subscriber , not the owner, but the owners have said to post here, and I have done.
The ML owners have not noted this behaviour , it seems this is related only to mine email.
The problem at the moment seems solved, I have not caught the error messages. I'll sent the complete message to you immediately.

Thanks for quick replying.

Hi,

I've disabled posting to the problem address in the mailing list configuration. This should hopefully stop the mails.


Are you the mailing list manager for this list? Are you simply a subscriber? Are these mails going to the whole list, or just to you?


Can you send/forward a couple of the complete mails to -email is unavailable- please.

(that message you attached is not the full source of the message you received, but only the actual message text.) The full message should hopefully give us more clues as to why something is sending you this volume of mail.

Regards,

Steven

This makes my email unusable..I fear tommorrow I'll have 600 messsages and more!! :-(

Please can you investigate?

The mail has this subject:
