In examining them closely, what I found was that the bounces all came from the same site, and all were rejected because the IP address of some site - that was neither mine, or FreeBSDs - didn't have a reverse DNS. My conclusion is that the mail on the list (lists, actually - i see it for a number of them) is holding mail for several days, then spitting parts of it back, seemingly at random. Worse yet, their DNS is hosed in a way that causes one recipient to reject it, meaning you also get a bounce back from it. I believe that's a problem with their mailer as well; the FreeBSD lists ask that errors from messages going through th lists go back to them for correction. I've complained to the people that the recieved line headers finger more than once, and never seen a reply. <mike > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Tyler K McGeorge" <treznor@sunflower.com> > > To: "Andrew Hesford" <ajh3@chmod.ath.cx>; "Rick Hamell" <hamellr@1nova.com> > > Cc: "Kevin Brunelle" <kruptos@netzero.net>; <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > > Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 12:38 PM > > Subject: Re: Mailing list issues. > > > > > I was having a conflict with the list myself.
