[Mailman-Users] Monthly Reminder Problem

[Dennis Putnam]

I started this thread some time ago and got to the point where I was
able to trace things to Postfix and ultimately found where the message
was apparently sent to my ISP.

As you can see, it appears everything is working properly as far as
Postfix is concerned. However, my ISP never delivers the email to the
recipient. All other mail to/from my mailing lists work and are
successfully delivered including welcome messages, etc. This means to me
(unless someone can think of something else) that the reason my ISP is
not delivering the mail is because it is finding something unique in
this particular email that does not exist in all others. There is no
bounced message from the ISP so it must be throwing it into the bit
bucket for some reason and I am not getting even a hint as to what is
wrong. Can someone think of what is unique about these messages from all
the others mailman generates? I doubt it is anything in the body so it
seems it has to be something in the headers. The only straw I can grasp
is perhaps the from address. 'Mailman-bounces' does not exist but is
that not the from address of all mailman generated messages?

Thanks.
