= bug description = I've begun to receive multiple "Undelivered mails returned to sender" mails from askfedora since the mailing system was fixed.
= bug analysis =
I'm not sure if this is an issue with askfedora, or if the accounts it's trying to send mail to do not really exist.

I've been getting many of these, bouncing off various email addressses. It's unlikely that all these email addresses are invalid (I think).
= fix recommendation = Not really sure. I'm really happy that the mail notification is back up, but getting a lot of these mails is slightly annoying. Is it possible to just disable bounces. I mean, if someone else didn't get the notification, I really don't need to know about it. (The concerned person needs to update his/her email to a correct one)
We already have a thread on askfedora where I see people disgruntled by notifications. Them getting these bounces is going to make it worse :(
ok. I think we have adjusted this so it sends as nobody@fedoraproject.org, so it shouldn't send bounced back to askfedora.
There may still be some in queue or the like, but if you see any later today, please let us know.
