I have a Mailman 2.1.9 Uncaught bounce notification:
From: <>
To: LISTNAME-bounces at example.com
Subject: Returned mail: unreachable recipients:gingehen at wicc.weizmann.ac.il
The original message was received at Thu Nov 8 14:58:21 2007
Likely reason for failure: 550 5.1.1 <gingehen at wicc.weizmann.ac.il>... User unknown
Why was this not caught as a standard 550 rejection? Is it because the
initial mail received a 250 return code
to=<gingehen at wicc.weizmann.ac.il>,
relay=mail-gate2.weizmann.ac.il[132.77.4.177]:25,
status=sent (250 Requested mail action okay, completed)
and then the mail was rejected? But it is not the Mailman machine that
has the smart SMTP mailer; I send all Mailman mail via Postfix to
another machine for delivery.
