Questions About Uncaught Bounce Notifications
by David Andrews July 18, 2019

July 18, 2019

I run an installation that has over 300 lists. Normally, for years, I received around 300 uncaught bounce notifications a day. In the past couple of months, it has dramatically increased to 3000 to 4000 a day. Some questions: what causes them? Can they be reduced? Do they hurt anything? Toes the increase mean a problem somewhere else? Thanks! Dave

Include part of message when rejecting due to excessive size?
by David Gibbs July 17, 2019

July 17, 2019

My memory is failing me... I thought that, when rejecting a message from the admin queue, part of the original message was included in the reject message. Is this true? When I reject messages, just the reject message is sent. If so, is there a setting that I need to adjust? If not, is there any way to do that? Thanks.

English (USA)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 It has been brought to my attention again that Mailman supports one dialect of English, but declares that it the USA variant. What in Mailman makes the English language (translations?) specific to USA? In the interest of world perspectives, would a patch to convert it to just "English" be welcomed? - -Jim P. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE3RmV4WutJ2KyCS2zPcxbabkKGJ8FAl0jfwAACgkQPcxbabkK GJ/flhAAgwOWRK83sSLjOrU1T5myc9RDCVrbCeFTZaR++AuvYlQUun1QKysaue4L uEUiOU5gqSkLmamXfDvXExQfX1yuwWvz0Ea1OB94GofRtar5UsUuAV1Tp4+3PrRy IIYggufWCLv7ei+ZVQBF2TGeos7kxVkpGHbw4ujy6O02Ly3ZTj+jGHOrEWcq16/B cbCXfFdbTSyHKpx4UwOeuAbRJIU0tu9aT5eCgxAFwuALJD4SOdIGdH2/80t7xzW+ fosOUSToJVrttD0Br0iWm34Mf+Kc7H1ldTVdW9HyfsOzXYfz17SGCOq0WNkq3I3E UYEGtC0E/jteaPW1h7iRBMCvRZgFhHsACuMA8U8vNu4BWHvdV7gb5CU33fr5wi0t 54pHSv4xBkkCtFJIjt6rmRiZBR1JPwofOCLhikSPD811HE3Rzx6WgVjgr3900BYd ZLI2JNhMtTWfkZbniewJgvB2JDhckaRresU9+8W1uQSdJC/DI6gTbbVLrgg/ce8y c2bNksDxVWmms2OwrLZdGzfk+v+hiPmxeoVKmYKJSFn+AiW+I4+E6b58/btdBGhP IIy7wlKaU33dhMJYVKM71fOJrxoHMFoKbsWXLfvuyAbnNS5priLJenrEWL6BFVEb 2M1f/OpHilWsvX2Qf6XH/A8RwpXmnpsiJ/wqrwaFMhpG4IhhA5I= =UZMc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Roadrunner/TWC blocking Emails
by Jayson Smith July 7, 2019

July 7, 2019

Hi, I run a few Mailman lists, and yesterday evening I started having trouble sending Email to Roadrunner customers. I figured it was a temporary failure of some kind, until this morning when I received the same bounces. Whenever Sendmail connects to a Roadrunner Email server, it immediately gets this error: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to dnvrco-cmedge01.email.rr.com.: <<< 554 dnvrco-cmimta17 esmtp ESMTP server not available AUP#I-1000 ... while talking to dnvrco-cmedge02.email.rr.com.: <<< 554 dnvrco-cmimta14 esmtp ESMTP server not available AUP#I-1000 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable Various attempts at Googling this error have lead me to believe that my IP may have been blacklisted by RR/TWC for some reason. Since the blocking happens immediately upon connect, my server doesn't have enough time to send enough information for RR/TWC to do an SPF check much less a DKIM validation. Various links I've tried to reach RR/TWC's postmaster site now lead to a Spectrum support page targeted at Spectrum customers having problems sending Email or receiving spam or other unwanted Email, not mail servers having problems sending into Spectrum/Roadrunner/TWC. Does anyone here know of an up-to-date link where I can find out if my IP is blacklisted by them, submit a removal request, etc? Various RBL checking tools indicate I'm not on any blacklists, and several reputation check tools show my IP as being clean. I don't know—and probably never will—why Time Warner/Roadrunner would put me on their blacklist. This happened all of a sudden, a message addressed to two Roadrunner customers yesterday afternoon was accepted, then about five hours later they started blocking my IP. Thanks for any help, Jayson
