Subject: ezmlm warning
Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
[email protected] mailing list.
I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at [email protected].
Messages to you from the php-general mailing list seem to
have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce
message I received.
If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe
bounces,
I will remove your address from the php-general mailing list,
without further notice.
I've kept a list of which messages from the php-general mailing list
have
bounced from your address.
Copies of these messages may be in the archive.
To retrieve a set of messages 123-145 (a maximum of 100 per request),
send an empty message to:
<[email protected]>
To receive a subject and author list for the last 100 or so messages,
send an empty message to:
<[email protected]>
Here are the message numbers:

Subject: failure notice
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lists.php.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[email protected]>:
76.75.200.58 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 550 Won't forward failure notice
I retrieved the indicated message, 313991:

Your message was undeliverable due to the following reason:
Your message was not delivered because the destination server was
not reachable within the allowed queue period. The amount of time
a message is queued before it is returned depends on local configura-
tion parameters.
Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but
it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not
have a mail system running right now.
Your message was not delivered within 6 days:
Server 110.41.11.40 is not responding.
The following recipients did not receive this message:
<[email protected]>
Please reply to [email protected]
if you feel this message to be in error.
------=_NextPart_000_0005_220BC4AD.040604D6--
--icgablonoalgccfgjigf--
So it appears as though a reply from a failing mail server bounced
back to the list manager, which sent out the bounce message, which got
reflected back to the entire list. I believe the error to be at [email protected]
server.
