I wish I knew too. These happen once every couple of weeks or so, and for few days I get a bounce on every message I post. The cause appears to be someone subscribing to the list with an invalid address, combined with a receiving MTA that doesn't notice where the message is really coming from (the linux-newbie list, not the poster personally) or that it is Precedence: bulk (which should call for discarding without bouncing by the smtp standards I learned - bouncing back to the list would create a nightmarish feedback loop, as you might imagine). Were this a more actively managed list, the place to "complain to" would be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The list owner could remove the problem address by hand, faster than whatever automatic method is in place intervenes. But in practice, I don't think anyone actually reads and acts on messages sent to that address (if I'm wrong, boy would I welcome a correction!). I've tried sending messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but that doesn't seem to do anything either. In practice, we seem to have to just wait these things out. Basically, we are putting up with misconfigured MTAs at the bouncing sites.
