I've been using mailman for quite some time and it has always seemed to work without problems.
But I'm having trouble with messages being sent to the list owner (administrator) for a moderated list. The error I see in the log is
SMTP session failure: 517, Syntax error. msgid: <...>
So for example I have a list called "ricardo1", and it is configured as moderated. When I send an email to the list, it is forwarded on to the list administrator.
In mailman's logs, I see:
---- smtp log ------ Jun 01 07:02:56 2005 (22702) mailman.484.1117634575.22700.ricardo1@lists.americasnet.com smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.154 seconds Jun 01 07:03:15 2005 (22702) mailman.484.1117634575.22700.ricardo1@lists.americasnet.com smtp for 2 recips, completed in 16.207 seconds
---- smtp-failure log ---- Jun 01 07:03:06 2005 (22702) SMTP session failure: 517, Syntax error., msgid: mailman.484.1117634575.22700.ricardo1@lists.americasnet.com Jun 01 07:03:15 2005 (22702) SMTP session failure: 517, Syntax error., msgid: mailman.484.1117634575.22700.ricardo1@lists.americasnet.com
I also tested this by sending a message directly to the list owner (ricardo1-owner@lists.americasnet.com)
and I get the exact same error...
Is it only the one list, or is it all moderated lists?
If only the one, I suspect some issue with the ricardo1-owner@lists.americasnet.com alias in courier?
What happens to -owner mail for other, non-moderated lists?
The list is configured with the owner/administrator as my own email, ricardo@americasnet.com
Is there a way I can manually run the mailman program with debug to try and see what's going on in the smtp session ?
See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-May/044742.html for a way to replicate Mailman's sending of mail. Try using
rcpts = ['ricardo1-owner@lists.americasnet.com']
in the script in that post, but I doubt you'll get much more information than you already get.
You might be able to use some sort of packet sniffer to see the actual SMTP interaction between Mailman and courier. If it comes to that.
