[Mailman-Users] error messages in the archive

[Daniel Carvalho]

Our SMTP server has a limitation in the number of messages it can send
per hour, so it started to reject messages, and the Mailman server
interpreted then as bounces. Until now, everything normal. 

What seem strange is that some error messages appeared in the mailing
list archive page.

These lines were taken from the "archive by date" page:

# [CA-info] Status   The Post Office
# [CA-info] Returned mail: Data format error   Mail Delivery Subsystem
# [CA-info] Mail System Error - Returned Mail   Automatic Email Delivery
Software

The archive is supposed to show the messages that were send to the list.
This means that all subscribers receibed these error message? Or mailman
get confused and put these message in the archive?

This is the content of one of the messages that were in the archive:
