Yes, it happens a few days after the post. It's not uncommon for MTA's
to try delivery for a few days before giving up and apparently return
the item to the sender. I fear we need Harry or Martha to identify
which subscriber does this...

It's recurred, and I have some evidence. Email from me left here:
Received: from js.id.au (dsl-58-6-192-22.wa.westnet.com.au [58.6.192.22]) by
smtp-inbound4.marist.edu with ESMTP id CA9RyR7qUlL9v5f5 for
<LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU>; Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:13:22 -0500 (EST)
That's the first Received: header verifiable outside my site.
It spent a few minutes bouncing around Marist and friends:
Return-Path: <>
Received: from MARMAIL2 (NJE origin smtp...@marist) by VM.MARIST.EDU
(LMail V1.2b/1.8b) with BSMTP id 4604; Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:18:22 -0500

VMMAIL2.MARIST.EDU (IBM VM SMTP Level 540) via TCP with ESMTP ; Tue, 29
Dec 2009
Then it got wrapped up and returned. This is the first header from the
message returning it:
Received: from VM.MARIST.EDU (NJE origin lists...@marist) by
VM.MARIST.EDU (LMail V1.2b/1.8b) with BSMTP id 4608; Tue, 29 Dec 2009

and arrived here:

for <deb...@herakles
Presumably folk at Marist can correlate this to their logs.
Note that, while most timestamps are in times local to Marist, mine are not.
