We do. You are seeing the 1% that have odd bounce setups that defeat the automated bounce processing. The fact that the bounce comes to you and not the list will also give you a hint as to why it is hard to catch these :) When time permits I also examine bounces I receive from sending messages like this, the List Charter, etc. This is not a fun task. As a general point, please do not post administrivia to the list unless absolutely necessary - email me directly in the first instance, thanks. Cheers - John ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
