I am an administrator and moderator for a Mailman 2.1.18 list. Some months ago I started getting frequent digests addressed to the <list>-requests@<--> address. Why might this be happening and how can I stop it? John

Is <list>-requests@<--> a digest member of the list?
Are these messages sent directly to the <list>-requests@<--> address or are they forwarded there from some other address?
I think the most likely explanation is some digest list subscriber has some kind of autoresponder that is bouncing their received mail including these digests back to the From: address of the message. If this is the case, examination of the full Received: chain in the message headers may possibly identify the subscriber. Otherwise, since digests can't be personalized, it would be difficult to identify where they cone from, but examination of the MTA logs if you have access may help.
