[Mailman-Users] Analysis of reasons for bounce responses

[Jon Carnes]

If anyone has sysadmin access to a server running CPanel, I would be
happy do some trouble-shooting on the problem.

>From the aggregate complaints it sounds like Cpanel has introduced an
error with Exim. It could be something as simple as a timeout value.

Are the servers also running a local DNS server - and set to resolve
using 127.0.0.1 as the primary nameserver? There are so many things that
could be a problem...
