No, it's not you ... we're all experiencing it (which is why I'm replying on
the list instead of privately). Someone subscribed with a bad e-mail address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and the mail system at that site doesn't know
not to send bounce messages in reply to mail labeled "Bulk" priority. So we
all suffer.
This problem occurs about once a month on linux-newbit. This one is
unusually persistent, though -- perhaps the list owner for linux-newbie
(whoever that is - does anyone know?) might step in and fix this? Or the
postmaster at the site creating the bounces? (I've cc'd both on this message.)
