What I'm still struggling with is...
Please send me one of these email notices off list. I need to see all the headers from the raw message source. I'll see what I can see from that.
Thanks very much, doing so by pm...
I do have an issue understanding what's happening. If you get a notice about pending requests and go to "B" and the requests are there and you delete them, how is it that they reappear on "B"? That's the part I don't understand.
I suspect part of this is DNS issues possibly combined with action URLs in web forms containing a host name which doesn't point to the current host. I.e., you go to http://B/mailman/admindb/LIST and the action URL for the "submit" button actually points to "A".
I did migrate the list from one instance to another years ago. In diagnosing the recent spamming, I did find an error: Mail was still being sent to the old instance. I corrected on 13th December.
Each morning I get attend-to pending requests for two spams, on on either side of directing mail to the correct instance.
So this is increasingly beginning to sound like inconsistent DNS aliases or /etc/host hostname or alias references.
According to the headers, the attend-to emails are being sent by the old instance, 'A'.
The recipient of the emails is the list administrator on the new instance, 'B'.
'B' forwards to the mail host 'C' which delivers to the instance on which I read mail (which happens to be 'A').
Going-in on 'B', nothing is pending there.
Going-in on 'A', I clear them. Tomorrow, they reappear with exactly the same submission dates; one before I corrected the inbound mail routing and one after.
Am I confused? Boy am I confused!
