The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Pat Allen <address@concealed>]

Good morning,

I'm currently running Sympa 6.1.3.  Some users have reported that they do not receive NDR messages when sending to lists which are restricted. There is no notification to the user that the message is rejected. They assume that the mail was delivered successfully. I was surprised because I thought this used to work.

I configured a test list to accept mail only from subscribers and attempted to send a message to it. The sympa.log shows that it is being rejected:
May 14 07:09:11 xxxxxx sympa[19936]: notice main::DoFile() Processing /home/sympa/spool/msg/test@xxxxxx.mbari.org.1337004546.24320 ; sender: Pat Allen <address@concealed>  ; message-id: <address@concealed>
May 14 07:09:11 xxxxxx sympa[19936]: info main::DoMessage() Processing message for test with priority 5, <address@concealed>
May 14 07:09:11 xxxxxx sympa[19936]: notice main::DoMessage() Message for test from address@concealed rejected() because sender not allowed
May 14 07:09:11 xxxxxx sympa[19936]: notice Moving bad file test@xxxxxx.mbari.org.1337004546.24320 to bad/

The maillog simply shows the message arriving but no outgoing NDR:
May 14 07:09:06 xxxxxx sendmail[24318]: q4EE96dP024318: from=<address@concealed>, size=1808, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<address@concealed>, bodytype=7BIT, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=asdf.shore.mbari.org [134.89.12.31]
May 14 07:09:07 xxxxxx sendmail[24319]: q4EE96dP024318: to="| /home/sympa/bin/queue test@xxxxxx.mbari.org", ctladdr=<test@xxxxxx.mbari.org> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=32020, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Is there a bug which has been introduced or fixed between 6.1.3 and 6.1.11? I couldn't find anything in the archives.

Thanks,
Pat
