>Getting following error from lisrtserve. Please help on this. Nasty format for bounces. If you just got the one bounce I'd probably just file it away or delete it; in that case it's probably the result of an abortive subscribe request or other command issued by a bad address. If they're coming in more often then it's more likely that one of your mailing lists has a subscriber with a nastily misconfigured mailer. In that case I'd issue the following commands in roughly this order. I'd probably put them in seperate emails but you can put them all in the same if you prefer. q * for *dsagupta*@* q * for *manash*@* q * for *standardchartered*@* q * for *@*standardchartered* q * for *@*interliant.com q * for *@*interliant.* If there's an address that matches two or more of the above patterns then I'd take a closer look at it. There are various things you could try: 1) Set the subscriber nomail. 2) Delete the subscription. 3) "QUIET SET listname NOMAIL FOR email@address" followed by "SET listname MAIL FOR email@address" and see if this results in an immediate bounce, hopefully one that's recognizably associated with the message the above commands generate. 4) Send mail to the suspect email address asking if they've been having email problems. If the message bounces, delete the subscription. If you can't find a possible problem subscription using the above methods (or if you find too many) then the next step is probably to send mail to [log in to unmask] and ask them if they have any records of what the message was that generated the bounce, or at least who the message's recipients were. In that case you should include the full text of the bounce (as I guess you did below).
