If you are NOT getting alot of bounces on your list, then for diagnostic
purposes, assuming that the WHATHELPS. folks don't have any further
insights, then temporary turn OFF the AUTO-DEL processing so that you can
"see" the full bounced e-mail.
I suspect that this kind of mail is an "after hours" kind of bounce e.g.,
some maintenance is taking place on the end-user's email system that
inhibits his mail account from being confirmed as valid.
