If you're using exim you may need to set these options in exim.conf:

local_from_check = false
local_sender_retain = true
untrusted_set_sender = *

If you don't use these options then emails will have "envelope from" set to sympa@yourdomain rather than list-name-owner@yourdomain, and the bounces won't be routed correctly.

Hello,

 

We are using Sympa v6.1.19 with about 40 lists but never see a bounced message.

 

In my test list I created a member with a false e-mail address “address@concealed”.

When I send an e-mail to this address from Outlook, I get a bounce message back.

 

Sending a message to the list in Sympa, my outlook receives the message with my correct e-mail address but the bounce list stays empty and I don’t get a bounce for “address@concealed”.

 

See attached screendumps.

 

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
