These lines mean that 21.com is malconfigured and forwards messages to  
the address in the To header (which is the list address) instead of  
correctly handling the envelope addresses.

Obviously, a user at 21.com is subscribed to the list, but the broken  
mailer forwards the messages back to the list instead, which detects the  
loop and bounces the message.

Useful for spammers: Just send the messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the  
actual recipients in the To header.

I already informed [EMAIL PROTECTED] and qmail-owner, but 21.com's  
admins did not react.

Did I say I hate those ***** domain POP3 systems?

Hm, maybe in the future, ezmlm should check for such brokenness and  
refuse to subscribe users of such broken systems.

But this is really strange.
Is it possible that qmail already sends a bounce message if the primary  
MX fails and before it tries to send messages to the secondary.
Anyway, whatever 203.87.57.227 is, it does not accept messages for  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
