 The list was nailed with over 13,000 bounce messages(and they keep coming)
 from ONE list subscriber and I wasn't sure if their smtp server wasn't
 doing what it should.  I finally had to just block their domain totally at
 postini to stop the flood of messages.
 
 I think this was part of the first slowdown and why the list slowed down
 again today.

Yep thats what I was thinking but apparently that isn't what is going on.

We have have 41,000 bounces that have been blocked from said mail server.

The from is the mail server and no return path is set.  EVIL
