Hi all

I operate two very different postfix machines. One is heavy loaded and with
a decent hardware, the other is my home machine. Both have CentOS5 with
postfix-2.3.3, amavis, spamassassin and clamav. On both machines there is a
mail account signed on the same mailing list (in particular, the popular
Squid web proxy daemon mailing list).
>From time to time, one or both of these accounts exhibit the same problem
while receiving a message from the mentioned mailing list.
A message is received saying (I paste a transcript of the error I receive
from my home machine, but the problem on the other is the same):

Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mail Delivery System)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Postmaster)
Subject: Postfix SMTP server: errors from squid-cache.org[12.160.37.9]

Transcript of session follows.

Having a look at the logs, I find:

I'm tempted to think that this is a mailing list's manager problem, and to
forget about it, but I would like to be sure that the fault is not partly or
totally mine.
Any suggestions?
