Hello listadmins,
I've been getting these mailing list probe messages from mailman regularly.
What I suspect might be a problem, is that the message says "a sample is
attached below", but there is no sample bounce message.
Is mailman firing off random probe messages? Or is it forgetting to attach
a bounce message that my email provider sent it?

Hi,
I have banned an email address domain (with *+(a)sorter.ch) but I am still
seeing emails from this sort of address getting through to moderation. What
else do I need to do? I see there are some emails from this domain listed
as non-members. Should I delete those?
Thanks!
