Dropping larryp(a)inow.com from the forwarding aliases.
inow.com has two NS, neither of which function.

Rick,
Thanks, I'll need to look into it some more - see what I can fix easily
enough. Even your emails to me (via balug-admin(a)lists.balug.org) didn't
land in my "inbox", but, alas, were snagged by gmail as "spam". Not that
there's anything inherently wrong with the emails ... gmail's spam
filtering seems to be getting increasingly stupid, and drops lots of
legitimate email from numerous legitimate senders into spam - and
senders having perfectly fine (or at least okay) email sending too. But
at least gmail's spam filtering is better than yahoo's horrible mess of
spam filtering ... but that's not saying much.
I miss when berkeley.edu actually handled their own mail - they've long
since handed it all over to Google ... ugh.
So, yeah, anyway, something(s) definitely not right. I think some of
the issues are - mailman's bounce processing isn't working 100%. That
is likely due to exim4/eximconfig/mailman interaction.
There's also some fair bits of odd breakage(ness) in eximconfig.
eximconfig, unfortunately, hasn't been maintained in many many years,
and as time goes on, and exim evolves and upgrades versions, eximconfig
only continues to be more and more broken.
My longer term plan is to get rid of eximconfig - and almost certainly
also exim - and probably go with an MTA that is also more reasonably
configurable - probably postfix. One of exim's significant
limitations/issues, is it doesn't play very nice with multiple domains.
If, e.g., one has multiple domains - be it 2 or thousands, and one wants
to or needs to, say, set up, postmaster@DOMAIN, webmaster@DOMAIN,
contact@DOMAIN, listmaster@DOMAIN, etc. the distinct DOMAINs can't be
aliased separately, but every single one, e.g. postmaster, webmaster,
etc, must all use the same alias for the same local part - even across
distinct domains. That's a best highly annoying and unsatisfactory.
Yes, is possible to add further post-processing tools, that might
possibly address that, but that's also rather unsatisfactory.
E.g. if I want/need webmaster@DOMAIN1, and @DOMAIN2, but don't want and
want to reject webmaster@OTHER_DOMAINS - exim has no way to do that - post
processing tools could drop that, but they can't reject it at connect.
Anyway, lots of reasons to switch out the MTA. And with that will need to
put in some reasonable (and much more feasible to reasonably control -
eximconfig is too creaky and unmaintained for that, and much of it is
deeply tied into python - which I don't exactly fully grok ... yet).
And, "of course", since it's all live and operational, need to do the
changes carefully (will probably need to alpha/beta test the changes on
a quasi-work-alike dummy/test VM first ... carefully, as won't want to
be doing actual Internet email/list traffic - at least not with same
domains/IPs). Anyway, is on the todo list. Did get balug VM upgraded
to current stable some months back - so that's a bit closer. Still have
one (fairly complex) physical host to upgrade to current stable ...
likely get to the MTA/anti-spam stuff on the BALUG VM sometime after that.
But I'll also look to see if there's something I might be able to do in
the meantime that works reasonably well and easily enough.
Also, might go from mailman2 to mailman3 at some point ... but that's not
nearly as urgent. Would likely have some fair bit of advantages, but that
wouldn't fix the other (at least for the most part) email issues - so not
a priority at this time.

RBL claims in the bounce notices below motivated me to check the BALUG
IP (96.86.170.229) and domain on DNSBLs. There are some reputation
problems for the IP address...
$ dig -t a +short 229.170.86.96.dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net
127.0.0.2
$ dig -t a +short 229.170.86.96.all.s5h.net
127.0.0.2
$ dig -t a +short 229.170.86.96.b.barracudacentral.org

$ dig -t a +short 229.170.86.96.bb.barracudacentral.org
127.0.0.2
$ dig -t a +short 229.170.86.96.black.dnsbl.brukalai.lt
127.0.0.2
$
...and for the domain:
$ dig -t a +short balug.org.postmaster.rfc-clueless.org
127.0.0.3
$
The domain claim is definitely bogus, and I don't know why the RBL
claims balug.org doesn't accept mail to postmaster -- as I just verified
that it does:
$ telnet balug.org smtp
Trying 96.86.170.229...
Connected to balug.org.

postmaster.rfc-clueless.org lists the balug.org domain, so I'm just
doing a test. Am guessing the RBL's claim is bogus.

It could be that rfc-clueless.org's testing is aggressive enough
to occasionally cause Exim to reject the test mails to postmaster,
or that their text seems spammy to the rulesets, or something like
that. I cannot remember exactly where EximConfig's whitelisting
is, but, if logfile analysis reveals where rfc-clueless.org's test
mails originate, that would be a preventative.
The other listings are more troubling, claiming that balug.org's IP
has been functioning as a spamhaus.
The bounce message (below) talks about the IP address also being listed
at 'spamrl.com', but according to
https://www.gmass.co/blog/domain-blacklists-comprehensive-guide/ ,
'SpamRL.com is a domain blacklist cloaked in secrecy' with no Web-based
or other query tools, though one can manually de-list one's IP for up
to seven days at their Web site.
