they can be a pain. I do a due dilligence trying to track things
down, then I have a procmail script that looks for the unfindable
names and throws away the error messages for me so I don't waste any
more time on them. If they don't want me to find the addresses, they
can waste the system resources bouncing stuff to /dev/null until I
get around to probing the list.

nope. I'll bet a beer it's someone forwarding from a non-AOL address
to AOL, where the AOL screen name is dead, adn the forwarding site is
stripping all of the useful info.
