[Mailman-Users] Approval message loops around and is seen as a bounce

[Brett Thorson]

I just upgraded mailman from 2.0.something to 2.1.5.  Everything went
really well (thanks, that was great).  However, I am running into one
weird even that is occurring.

When a non-user sends a message that requires approval.  The approval
message gets sent from listname-owner to listname-owner.  This address
because of the setup I have actually gets routed off the box and then
returns.  And I think it is the returning to the box that makes mailman
think that the message actually bounced.  It seems to me that mailman
should replace the To:listname-owner with the actual address of the list
owner.

Below is the (Bounce message (approval message (message to approve)))
encapsulated messages that have me mostly puzzled.

Any help?

Thanks.

The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce
format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted
from it.  This mailing list has been configured to send all
unrecognized bounce messages to the list administrator(s).
