FAQ
I'm getting an uncaught bounce notification from a particular user on
one of my mailing lists. In a message in the archives, one respondent
said they could look at the message, but would need the original
email. I'm using mailman 2.1.9 and postfix as the mta. I can't figure
out where I would find the original message. I've looked in the
usual places and neither mailman nor postfix is keeping the original
message around. At least that I have found. So where to look, or
what to turn on so the message is saved for the future so I have a
chance to determine why the message is not being understood by the
mailman bounce processor.

thanks,

ted

    The original "uncaught bounce notification" email that you received,
    not the original email that bounced.

    You would need to look at the archives mbox file on the Mailman machine.
    On my Ubuntu machine the archives are in

    /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox

    That mbox file has the mail messages with all of the RFC 5322 mail
    headers. Viewing the archives via the web interface will not show
    all of the mail headers.
