This whole thing is even stranger than that. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is not on the distribution list for debian-testing. In fact there are no addresses to that domain in the list. I have no idea why murphy is trying to send these e-mails in the first place, much less why they are causing bounces. On another (possibly unrelated) issue, apparently the bellsouth ISP starts bouncing mail from domains that send too many emails to their customers. The bounce is such that the murphy server resends confirmation mail, but doesn't inform me that the events have occured. It seems, from other interactions with spam filters on servers, that mail that does not arrive at its destination, due to the intervention of a spam filter, fail to bounce mail back to the originator. I have had several customers "go missing" and get back to me through other avenues. In both cases the cause was a spam filter at the ISP hosting the customer. Among other things, this has added to my conviction that there aren't any technical solutions to social problems. That is, all technical solutions have social side effects of the same order as the problem being solved. The above example is a case in point.
