According to Hoody's header, most likely *both* for arachne members,
and only fed back for arachne-digest members.  If you a member of
the main Arachne list, you might receiving some individual forgeries.
Try analyze them at http://spamcop.net/

IIRC to receive list postings, a majordomo list owner should also
subscribed to his list.  So he receives the same headers as the
rest of list members.  To get the full headers back, he might
have to reconfigure the list, setting "purge_headers=no".

BTW, is Gregor still the list owner?  No one seems able to contact
Michael recently, probably he still in the US somewhere.

Bounces usually goes to the list owner.  But in case of arachne they
should be redirected to /dev/nul, as my old - defunct - address still
listed as a subscriber, and no one complained about that <g>.
