Sorry Jamie, but your post is not totally clear. Have made comments
against each line. If you would be kind enough to clarify?

Since noone has pointed this out I thought I would.

The reject notices are caused by the fact that:
1. Your message WAS delivered to the list and
2. message was sent to mailboxes that no longer exist and[Stephen
Hartley responds]  Which mailbox - on the list server?
3. mailbox was on a non Exchange server and[Stephen Hartley responds]
Which mailbox was on a non Exchange server?
4. the server didn't honor the return path and instead used the reply to
address and [Stephen Hartley responds]  Which server didn't honor ....
and used which reply address?
5. an NDR was issued therefore back to the listserver with the original
message id tag and [Stephen Hartley responds]  Where is the NDR
generated?
6. the listserver spits it and DOES honor the return path.

Its been years since I read the RFC relating to error return behavior,
however I believe this is correct behaviour (by the listserver, not the
error producer). There isn't much that can be done with code, but the
dist list should be culled after a certain number of returns.


Jamie.

Anyone know what's up with the listserv and error messages? Seems some
folks, me included, get an error message on every post even the post
goes through. This leads to multiple unnecessary reposts. Maybe some of
us have something specific in our headers that kick this behavior off?

I apologize if this has already been received, but I received an email
message from the List Manager saying that the message was rejected, so I
am reposting.
