while importing some large mailing lists, using fetchmail --mda "maillist.php 2", the script seems to sometimes post replies BACK to the mailing lists themselves during the import.

I see the following header in the reply:

X-Mailer: FUDforum v2.6.6

They seem to come from the anonymous user (admin@forumdomain)

This generated 4000+ emails back to the mailing lists I'm importing , overnight when it was discovered, the listmanager simply banned that from address, but this does seem like something worth fixing!

admin@forumdomain is the NOTIFY_FROM address, which unless you changed it is the same as the admin e-mail you've specified during the installation phase.

As far posting back to the mailing list, could you tell me what were your settings for the mailing list import rule.
