Describe what you would like us to do:

Some months ago I had a lot of bounces alerts :

To: server-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org

The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce format
was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted from it. This
mailing list has been configured to send all unrecognized bounce messages to
the list administrator(s).

Von: "postmaster" postmaster@redhat.com
Betreff: Your message couldn't be delivered

An: "Peter Boy via server" server-bounces@lists.fedoraproject.org

Your message couldn't be delivered
The message you sent to miminar@gapps.redhat.com couldn't be delivered due to: Recipient email address is possibly incorrect.

Further information
5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try
double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
unnecessary spaces. For more information, go to

If you sent this message to multiple addresses, you'll receive a notification like this for every one that didn't arrive.

I removed the user miminar@gapps.redhat.com from the server subscription list after checking the address., and the bounces stopped .

Now they were back, multiple times, several days in a row (last week while I was on vacation). I checked our subscripted users list, it does not contain that address. Maybe you can check, what is going on. It is neither urgent nor likely to be harmful, but it is annoying.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Not urgent.

Yeah, I am seeing this on a number of lists.

Interestingly, the bounces I see are all from January... like it's processing a backlog or reprocessing old bounces... Very odd.
We will need to investigate.

Other lists seeing lots of bounces:
devel
devel-announce
epel-package-announce
