One of two things-
1.) Jamminjerry is alive an well, he posted to this Yahoo group today,
but the email address he is using is jamminjerry at G... and not
jamminjerry at M.... 

So somehow emails are still going to his old address and the server at
that address is replying to the ENTIRE Yahoo group email list instead
of replying to the orginal sender which would be the Group itself.

2.) and this one is definitely true, someone in this group has either
the Klez or Bugbear virus on their computer and it is sending out
emails to Yahoo addresses amoung others and they are getting bounced
back to the group.

If you are getting a lot or even a few emails returned as undelivered,
that you are pretty sure you never sent, then you probably have this
virus and need to do something about it before you drive the rest of
us nuts.

Here is a little tip for testing those unusual email you get
sometimes. (Frequently, I get emails that are completely blank.) Most
email programs will let you view the 'source' of the file. By source,
I don't mean where it originated but the source text; the raw
unformated text complete with Headers and all that other confusing stuff. 

If you get and email that doesn't have an attachment, but had a huge
block of random characters at the end when viewing the 'source text',
then that email has a virus.

Sorry, I know Email/Virus tip are way off topic, but if it leads the
person who has the virus on their computer to finding it, then it
saves us all a lot of headaches.

just a few thoughts.
