David,

You have received replies from both Nathan and Ben.  They think you are
getting new messages from some of your subscribers.  There are some clues
in your message that make me think something else is going on.

I think you mean that you are getting an error message for every message
sent to the list.  If this is the case, mail to one of your subscribers is
bouncing back to the list address.  You have to figure out which subscriber
address is causing the problem and delete the address.

We could have provided you with a lot more help if you had included the
complete error message you received.  All the important clues are in the
message that was rejected, not in the error notice you quoted.

I've seen cases in which mail systems have been so badly configured that
they don't send any text explaining the error, they just return the
original message.  If you send a complete error message, we may be able to
figure out what is wrong.
