Just to be clear; your email was to "m.delves@ballarat.edu.au " indirectly via :" luv-main@luv.asn.au <luv-main@luv.asn.au>" or explicitly ? ie "m.delves@ballarat.edu.au " appears in some "To" field at the top of your email ?

I also received bounces from the same address as a result of mail sent to Luv lists, i.e., indirectly via the list to that address.

Well now that I am clear what the symptoms are , I will listen with interest to possible explanations, from those knowledgeable in such matters. ...my expectation would have been that the notification would have gone to luv-main, rather than particular people on that list ! regards Rohan McLeod

The ballarat.edu.au mail server is broken. The sysadmins have been informed but don't appear to care. /^From: .*@ballarat.edu.au/ REJECT If you are using postfix then you can put a line like the above in /etc/postfix/reject and the following in /etc/postfix/main.cf and then you won't be bothered by their broken mail server again. header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/reject -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

FWIW, I don't see the bounces on gmane.org.user-groups.linux.luv.general (which is odd; I didn't think lars did any fancy filtering).

Before I blacklisted the domain in question messages were sent to me personally in response to list postings. So naturally gmane will never archive such messages because gmane never posts to the list. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
