Thought I'd beat Jeff to the punch on this one;

Those of you posting to the list and getting those lame messages from
"[log in to unmask]" --those messages do NOT mean your postings aren't
going to the list.. they are (and judging from the batch of multi-posted
messages in the past couple days I assume alot of people are assuming that
their postings aren't going to the list).

The messages are from a lame e-mail program somewhere that's responding to
the sender of every message that some person (some member of the list) has
a mailbox that's full and can't be delivered to. Instead of sending to the
list-owner or something, they're sending messages to each sender; on top of
that the dumb messages don't even name the mailbox they're attempting to
deliver to (which would help Jeff isolate the member and perhaps put him/her
into digest mode).

I've reported the problem to the [log in to unmask] and got an
automated response back.
