[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a subscriber to the qmail mailing list. When
muncher.math.uic.edu (which is where the qmail list lives) tried to send him a
list message, the message was rejected because the MX for cia.com.au wasn't
configured to receive mail for cia.com.au (cia.com.au wasn't in
control/rcpthosts).
ezmlm received this bounce message, stored it, and eventually sent out a
warning to see if the address was still bouncing mail. By this time the
administrator of cia.com.au had fixed his configuration and the warning got
through. The sending of warnings and probes is ezmlm's way of weeding out
defunct addresses from mailing lists.
