HI,
This may seem like a dumb question but I've been seeing a lot of this in my mail.logs All the messages are being delivered and there are no bad recipients in the list. Could there be a misconfiguration somewhere? I'd like to write a script that extracts information from the keyword bounces, but don't want to get data from legitimate emails.

If I grep one of the message ids and take a closer look:
mail:/var/mail root# grep C5760691BA29 /var/log/mail.log Oct 15 11:08:27 apps25 postfix/smtpd[18204]: C5760691BA29: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/cleanup[18211]: C5760691BA29: message-id=<17120997.1287166102753.JavaMail.resin@server12> Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/qmgr[16897]: C5760691BA29: from=<ticket-tracker-bounces@mail.mydomain.com>, size=4174, nrcpt=4 (queue active) Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/pipe[18230]: C5760691BA29: to=<andy@mydomain.com>, relay=cyrus, delay=1, status=sent (mail.mydomain.com) Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/pipe[18188]: C5760691BA29: to=<ben@mydomain.com>, relay=cyrus, delay=1, status=sent (mail.mydomain.com) Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/pipe[18241]: C5760691BA29: to=<debbie@mydomain.com>, relay=cyrus, delay=1, status=sent (mail.mydomain.com) Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/pipe[18230]: C5760691BA29: to=<cindy@mydomain.com>, orig_to=<cathy@mydomain.com>, relay=cyrus, delay=1, status=sent (mail.mydomain.com) Oct 15 11:08:28 apps25 postfix/qmgr[16897]: C5760691BA29: removed
It appears that all the messages have been delivered. There no bad recipients.
Is the "my-list-bounces" as reported in my logs normal? Its reported in the logs the same way for all the lists -- every mailman email that goes out looks like this.
Thank you for your time
