Bounce messages

Bounce messages

[Tom Rymes]

I’ve gotten a second message from the list indicating that 700+ messages have bounced, but that things are back to normal. 

I can’t find any reason that messages should be bouncing, and the number seems impossibly high, given the reasonably light traffic on the list.

Has anyone else had this happening?

Tom

Hey Tom,

I think you can safely ignore this.

I updated the server that is hosting the mailing list to Debian 13 and for some reason, this emails got generated. I got one, too, but I don’t think it is a reason to be concerned.

Best,
-Michael

Hi Tom,

No I have not had any message like that.

I would suspect it is a phishing scam. Check to from address carefully. I have had other emails about IPFire a month or so back asking me to check the unread emails for me in the ipfire rouncube mail system and they were not from any of the IPFire lists. They had ipfire in the email address but with other non related words.

Don't click on any of the links and just delete the mail - that is what I have done with the ones I got.

Regards,

Adolf.

Ignore my mail. I sent it before I saw Michael's. His makes more sense for your messages.

Regards,

Adolf.
