[Mailman-Users] Explicit destination causes implicit destination bounce

[Ian Gibbs]

Dear all,

I have read http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030676 FAQ 1.9 about implicit 
destination. I am sending directly To: the list with no other recipients. The host_name setting is 
pumb.org.uk. The conversation I had with the SMTP server is shown below. It still results in an 
implicit destination error. Can anyone suggest why, please?

I'm in the process of migrating my lists from one server to another. I have not yet updated the MX 
records for the domain, thus my sending the mail directly to the server rather than using a mail 
program.

Thanks for the help.
