FAQ
Hi,

A new list in my Mailman installation refuses to let postings
from a subscriber and list administrator through (not sure if
this applies to all posters -- the list is new), and bounces
the postings instead. Below is the error message --
unfortunately in Norwegian -- maybe someone recognizes the
structure of the problem or has any suggestions or tips?

(The other, old lists at the server work just fine.)

Den vedlagte meldingen ble mottatt som en returmelding, men enten er
formatet ukjent, eller s? kunne ingen medlemsadresse plukkes ut av
meldingen. Denne epostlisten er konfigurert slik at alle ukjente
returmeldinger sendes til listeadministratoren(e).

    The message is an uncaught bounce notification. This says either the
    list posts are being sent to
    stoppdld-bounces at mailman.kunnskapsallmenning.no (or possibly
    stoppdld-admin at mailman.kunnskapsallmenning.no) instead of to
    stoppdld at mailman.kunnskapsallmenning.no or something is wrong with the
    aliases or other MTA configuration so that mail to
    stoppdld at mailman.kunnskapsallmenning.no is being piped to the wrapper
    with arguments "bounces stoppdld" instead of "post stoppdld".

    The name of this list is
    stoppdld-admin at mailman.kunnskapsallmenning.no, in other words, "admin"
    is a part of the list name. Is that a problem? Is "-admin" a reserved
    suffix?

    (Also, there is another separate list named
    stoppdld at mailman.kunnskapsallmenning.no )

    Yes. It's a backward-compatibility alias for -bounces IIRC.

    I think all you need to do is find the alias that was created for the
    stoppdld list, remove it, and rebuild your aliases.

    I'm on a list which like yours want both LIST and LIST-admin lists,
    and has had that configuration without trouble for some years. If you
    can't resolve the problem I can ask the admins how they have managed
    this.

    Yes. As Stephen says, assuming your MTA uses aliases, if you just
    remove the one unnecessary stoppdld-admin alias from the stoppdld list
    aliases, you should be fine.

    Alternatively, depending on the MTA, just reordering the aliases may
    help. I.e. move whichever list's aliases now come first to a point in
    the file after the others.

    If you use an MTA like Exim or other process that delivers mail
    programatically without aliases, just remove the -admin suffix from
    its list. It's only for backwards compatibility with 2.0 for bounce
    processing and isn't needed.
