Nope. Some spammer tried to send a spam to the list, with a bogus From:
address of the list itself, thus the error message was sent to the entire
list. I get several per week with my own email address in teh From:
field, though they were sent usually from China or Korea. I'm seriously
considering blocking *very large* chunks of IP space from any access at
all to my servers.
Death to SPAMmers.
