This is compounded by the fact that it comes back from
something.de, which is a german hostname (ah, memories of a
wasted youth)... anyone on the list posting from germany?
The thing that seems the likeliest to me is that one of the
listees account has been cancelled and their e-mail address is
no longer valid, so every time the email reaches their
ex-server, the server sends an automatic message back saying
"this is no longer valid". Sadly, I've deleted of the ones I got
so I can't actually check this...
