Bug Description

Verification by Jen:

1 - Postfix is definitely accepting the message (/var/log/mail.log)
2 - There is no problem sending outgoing messages from sheinvents to members on a specific list:

/usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members

from you here you can do a:

mail <address at blah>

3 - This is definitely not a network latency issue

4 - Tail of logs/info shows when new post is received:

Dec 04 15:09:56 2008 (11322) Result is: []
Dec 04 15:09:56 2008 (11322) msg['Subject'] = /Will this get logged?/
Dec 04 15:09:56 2008 (11322) post_addr_with_subject = <email address hidden>
Dec 04 15:09:56 2008 (11322) footer-text = /

To subscribe to this conversation, send email to <email address hidden> or visit <http://sheinvents.com/mailman/options/dlist-test?override=19&preference=1>

To start a new conversation, send email to <email address hidden>
To unsubscribe entirely from dlist-test, send email to <email address hidden> with subject unsubscribe./
Dec 04 15:09:56 2008 (11322) Result is: []

5 - Mailman queue timestamps are being incremented for outgoing posts

qfiles/dlist, in, out, archive

6 - When a member is added to the list, the first post from the new user appears as in logs/info as:

Dec 04 15:28:21 2008 (28177) DlistUtils: Making SQL query 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM subscriber WHERE <email address hidden>''
Dec 04 15:28:22 2008 (28177) DlistUtils: query succeeded
Dec 04 15:28:22 2008 (28177) DlistUtils: Making SQL query 'INSERT INTO subscriber (mailman_key, preference, deleted, format, suppress) VALUES ('<email address hidden>', 1, FALSE, 1, 0)'
Dec 04 15:28:22 2008 (28177) DlistUtils: query succeeded
Dec 04 15:28:22 2008 (28177) Result of query is /None/

Additionally, I received a bounced message when trying to post:

Wonder if I can reply to this message

#####

This bug is based on this email from Robin:

I have been testing things with robin-test for the last couple of days. I used my work email (<email address hidden>) and my home email (<email address hidden>) as the two members and things worked well (not like kathy-test which wasn't sending any mail). Kathy joined with 2 email addresses (hotmail and yahoo) today. I asked a syster to join this list and send mail to it, to test out the garblings. The mail went to both of kathy's emails but to neither of mine. I have since tried sending from each email separately to make sure they both are impacted, and it's now been 4 hours since the last one was sent, so I'm pretty sure that it's not coming through (I'll send mail in the morning if it's really just slowness, but the first one was sent at 11am this morning, so this seems waaay too long.)

My guess is that this is related to the problem with kathy-test where the recipient list retrieved from the database was nil. I have no idea what is going on, but this seems like a serious problem, and certainly impacts anything we do about testing sent and received mail. If folks can try to track this down while I am gone, this would be a big help. There is a message in the info log that represents the set of recipients for the message -- here is an example for a message sent out today (Tuesday) -- and those are the recipients who actually got this message

'Dec 02 12:41:14 2008 (11322) Result is: ['<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>']

I have a guess that this has to do with the code that does the "suppress", which is whether you get all the messages or just the first in each thread. My guess is that it is either being written or read incorrectly, but that's just a guess.

Yes, you can solve it by creating a new list, but at some point, I believe it will go back into this mode again, and I wouldn't trust the tests you've run because once we fix it, the fix might mess other things up.

Is there anyway you can post in the full-headers for the message? I'd like
to see where the message was rejected. Probably under View, Full Headers or
something similar in Outlook.

Yes. Not a lot info though. Ah Exchange!

Can you try this again? Try to post to the list from your
anitaborg.orgaccount? That way I can get a fresh trail in the logs.
Or is not the
account but rather when you use the Outlook client?

Thanks,
Jen

Can you try creating a new list and seeing if it happens on the new list as
well? This is really strange because the message is not being rejected from
that address by Postfix.

Also would you add me to the list?
