Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded out production server to 6.2.24. Since then I've noticed
that the bounce messages are being rejected by the server.

For example, today a message was received at our external gateway addressed
to address@concealed.

But if I look at the subscriber entry for this list, there's no indication
that this address has been bouncing.

When I look in /var/log/maillog, I see the following:
Apr 10 11:48:11 sympa-svr postfix/smtpd[8288]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
tidal.mbari.org[134.89.2.42]: 550 5.1.1

Apr 10 11:48:13 sympa-svr postfix/qmgr[3892]: 5845B9FCA6: removed

If I look at /var/log/sympa.log, I see the following:
Apr 10 11:48:10 sympa-svr bounced[16422]: info

Sympa::Message <address@concealed>

The alias in /etc/aliases looks like:
bounce+*: "| /home/sympa/bin/bouncequeue address@concealed"

Does anyone have any idea why these bounce messages aren't being processed?

Thanks!
Pat
