I have recently installed news on our sun3 mailhost. Since its been up, I get spurious failed mail to comp-unix-ultrix. Any idea of why and how to stop this? Here is a copy of the failed mail: From uucp Thu Jun 1 05:10:25 1989 Return-Path: <Mailer-Daemon> Received: by datacube.com (4.0/SMI-4.0) id AA23782; Thu, 1 Jun 89 05:10:20 EDT Date: Thu, 1 Jun 89 05:10:20 EDT From: Mailer-Daemon (Mail Delivery Subsystem) Subject: Returned mail: User unknown Message-Id: <8906010910.AA23782@datacube.com> To: Postmaster Status: RO ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 comp-unix-ultrix...

These messages typically happen when you have a group still defined as "moderated" that is no longer moderated. It is a misfeature of the new news software that it is over eager to mail any incoming postings to a moderated group somewhere or other, making changing groups from moderated to unmoderated a real pain. Change the group status to unmoderated and the problem will go away - if you see mail passing thru your system to 'comp-unix-ultrix' one of your neighbors probably has this problem. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
