Looks like a TMDA or similar spamblocking system.

Indeed, like maxim says this comes from tmda. Everyone I  know  who  has
used it so far including myself have  ditched  it  because  it  is  very
difficult to set  up  properly,  Needs  lots  of  maintenance.  Is  very
annoying for people who send email to you and it  does  nothing  against
spam from mailinglists. You won't see this one very often anymore.

You will get auto-replies from people who are  out  of  the  office  and
forgot to configure the autoreply properly. Meaning that  everybody  who
sends a message to list they have been subscribed to get a  reply.  Most
admins kick you straight of the list for that. You  will  mostly  see  a
public excuse note from the  originator  because  he  received  tons  of
flames before he was shut of.

Anyway.

tmda BAD spamassassin GOOD

bmf.sf.net also seems very interesting.



Groetjes, Han.

This comes from an ill configured tmda, I guess.

Possibly some jerk trying to start a mail loop.  Looks like they tried to 
subscribe the mailing list to some other mailing list.
