[mlmmj] MLMMJ discarding messages

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi,

MLMMJ has been discarding messages without valid reasons. Here's the
message I get in my mail.log:

/usr/bin/mlmmj-process[5365]: mlmmj-process.c:705: Discarding
/var/www/sites/dtc/gplhost.sg/lists/gplhost.sg_dtcdev//incoming/36fed42864be910a
due to missing envelope from address: Success

As much as I know, there's a From: field.

Has anyone got a clue why it's doing this?

Thomas

It's the envelope from address that's empty, not the "From:" header.
This means somebody send a mail with "<>" as the real sender of the
mail. Your mta should discard these already by itself.
Are you sure the messages discarded are valid messages? Check the
message in the discarded queue (if it is still there, it's kept for 7
days), location probably:
/var/www/sites/dtc/gplhost.sg/lists/gplhost.sg_dtcdev/queue/discarded/
