What I'd like to know is where (and from apparantly who) this message originated, but I can't figure out from these logs what's going on.
It looks to me like someone sent an e-mail message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but there was an error (maybe this list is set up to reject messages from non-subscribers?), so Mailman tried to send an error back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] What you're seeing here is the bounce of that error message.
If you really want to understand what happened, you have to go back an additional step -- you've got to find where someone claimed to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sent the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It looks like an attempt from the Outgoing qrunner to send mail to alu-board-only (hence the alu-board-only-bounces return address), with [EMAIL PROTECTED] as one of the addressees, which doesn't make sense.
Actually, it's the other way around. See above.
