Thread: [pgsql-hackers-owner+M6959@postgresql.org: Majordomo Delivery Error]
I think somebody has the "owner" address forwarding to the list. Really annoying. Would somebody please stop that?

The Postgres mailing lists are correctly configured. However, there are certain sites that run broken mail software that sends bounce messages back to the author of the individual message being bounced, rather than sending 'em to the list owner address like it should. If you get a bounce message for mailing list traffic that you authored, then forward it to Marc, who otherwise may not find out that the dead address needs to be removed from the lists. You might also try complaining to the postmaster at the offending site, but I've found that's generally a waste of time; if the admin had a clue you'd never have seen any bounce anyway. regards, tom lane
