Hi all.

I have what appears to be a problem - but I could well be misunderstanding what Courier MLM is doing.

I sent a mail to a list on my CourierMLM server about 3 days ago. It distributed the mail, and I noted lists of addresses being kept in the 'bounces' directory under the home directory of the list. Since I understand that the MLM has some automated processing for bounces, I left it all well alone.

This morning I have suddenly received about 60 messages which have these headers:

-------- From: "Courier mail server at perimeter.co.za" <@> To: post...@perimeter.co.za

--------

and in the message it tells me:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

UNDELIVERABLE MAIL

Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:

<WellnessHealthLetter-bounce1-JJGPJCEKGFFBGAOPLGKLMLGPMIDJKOKE@perimeter .co.za>: <<< Invalid address.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Further along it includes this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNDELIVERABLE MAIL

Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:

<Jim...@soweto.org.za>: hercules.soweto.org.za [62.200.56.46]:

<<< 550 Invalid recipient/sender mailing address

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could be mistaken here, but it looks to me like Courier is failing to deliver the "-bounce1-${ID}" messages correctly to MLM for processing.

Can any point out my mistake, or perhaps just explain to me what is happening if this is actually correct.

Thanks.
