The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Queen Brown <address@concealed>]

Hi,

We are running Sympa 5.4.3 and are having issues with extensive logging 
by the Sympa bounced deamon.  Our logs are growing to several Gigs every 
week.  The logs show that Sympa seems to be attempting to create a file 
called:

/home/sympa/bounce/<listname>/OTHER/FROM_NO_USER<String>

where <String> contains the value of an X-header in the message.  This 
X-header is generated by our PureMessage antispam engine.  I'm guessing 
that Sympa is interpreting this value as a recipient email address and 
is trying to create the bounce directory containing the name of the 
recipient/string. 

Is there any way to configure Sympa bounced to ignore this X-header when 
determining recipient addresses? 

Following is more specific logging:
