Category: bounce processing Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Bron Gondwana (brong) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Admin address over quota causes bounce loop Initial Comment: X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9.cp1 Hi, I'm not the administrator of the Mailman instance, just the poor sysadmin of a mail service who was woken in the middle of the night by our MX servers being severely overloaded by a mail loop. One of our users hit their quota in Cyrus and hence their mail was bouncing. This user is the admin for a Mailman list, and the list has been configured to forward all bounces to the admin. The message was: --===============2109117388== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the following mailing list posting: List: ***** From: ***** Subject: ***** Reason: Message body is too big: 7519566 bytes with a limit of 40 KB At your convenience, visit: http://... to approve or deny the request. And above that stacks of: --===============0756822160== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted from it. This mailing list has been configured to send all unrecognized bounce messages to the list administrator(s). For more information see: http://.../bounce I will point the owners of the offending bug at this thread so they can provide more specific information if they wish, without giving their privacy away.
