[Mailman-Users] Wrong email addresses leading to mail-loops

[Michael Dosser]

Dear list members!

I know that it's not very polite to reply to my own email just to point out that
it has not been answered. Please help, we still have the same problem!

What we did until now: I made a script to test whether a subscribed email is
part of one of our domains and if it is to check whether it exists in
the /etc/mail/virtusertable. This script runs by cron every 2 hours and
unsubscribes the wrong email address.

This cannot be the solution.

Anyone?

Ciao,mic
