I have had a look at the Mailer-Daemon reply, and I am now virtually 
certian that it is indeed a full mailbox or similar problem with the 
email-address Dee identified earlier.  The reason the member is not 
showing as 'bouncing' (messages, not ferrets) to the Moderators is
that 
the error messages bypass egroups and are sent straight to the "from" 
address on each message, which shows as the person who originates a 
message, not egroups .  So if i send a message to the list, I get the 
notice back from that mailbox, and egroups never knows there is a 
problem with that subscriber.

I recommend the Moderators place that member on NoMail/Web Only
status 
until he/she/it/they discover they are not getting any mail, and ask 
about it.  Alternately the address could be placed on Digest mode  - 
which shows as the group ID (hpforgrownups at egroups.com) in the 'from' 
field in the Digest messages, and which SHOULD trigger a 'bounce' 
detector at egroups.
