[Mailman-Users] HTML causing list-wide bounce?

Paul,

My apologies... The link got messed up, the HTML content of the email is at
http://www.soarol.com/tmp/EmailList-HTMLerror-2.txt.  The other link you saw
was a web page, which did have javascript and links to PayPal.

Excellent suggestion.  I will replace the -bounces address and see what I
get on Monday when I can get the customer to send more test messages.

I am not fluent in Qmail.  Finally found the logs for Qmail which was not in
the /var/log location, but rather deep under a Plesk directory.

The logs shows:
- the email coming into Mailman
- Mailman sending to each of the 3 list members
- my service provider's SMTP server (64.202.189.86) rejecting the message

Looks like you are right, just not my SMTP server rejecting it.

Am I reading these right?

| First comment - why the hell is he sending javascript in an
| email message? That plus the Paypal thing probably screams 
| "scammer" to most mail filters.  Because it's happening to 
| everybody, I'm betting it's an outgoing mail filter.

| Where is the smtp log for the incoming bounces?  Better yet,
| replace the -bounces alias with a real mail address and have 
| a look at the bounce message.
