I've just had a strange email which I've pasted with full headers below. It 
seems to be legit. If I assume it's legit, I think I must be bouncing certain 
messages from the mailing list. This in itself isn't good. I guess I have 
mailscanner mis-configured because I never knowingly bounce any mail (for the 
Joe Job reasons discussed in a recent thread).

I'm just off to check my mailscanner config (ISP -> FETCHMAIL -> POSTFIX -> 
MAILSCANNER -> PROCMAIL -> SPAMASSASSIN -> USER) but in the meantime if 
anyone can enlighten me on the following mail I'd be grateful.

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.


Messages to you from the spamassassin-users mailing list seem to
have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce
message I received.

If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces,
I will remove your address from the spamassassin-users mailing list,
without further notice.


I've kept a list of which messages from the spamassassin-users mailing list 
have 
bounced from your address.

Copies of these messages may be in the archive.
To retrieve a set of messages 123-145 (a maximum of 100 per request),
send an empty message to:
� �<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

To receive a subject and author list for the last 100 or so messages,
send an empty message to:
� �<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Here are the message numbers:

� �13387
� �13383
� �13392
� �13389
� �13395
� �13429

--- Enclosed is a copy of the bounce message I received.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at apache.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
212.159.11.36 failed after I sent the message.
