I didn't see JMP in the "To" list (possibly forwarded mail??). I'd certainly bounce that to the postmaster with a request that the daemon please identify the "To" address to which it can't deliver. I usually "NOMAIL" those full mailbox accounts (and IF I remember, I reset them to MAIL in a few days). Often the NOMAIL message is small enough to be delivered even though there's not room for normal listmail. Otherwise, I get an eventual query from the subscriber wanting to know why the listmail stopped when LISTSERV says they are "already subscribed" (at which point I tell them that if they are going to subscribe to lists, they need to take the responsibility to empty their mailbox). I usually wait until I've received a couple of days worth of "mailbox full" before I act (it's not uncommon to underestimate the amount of mail that will arrive -- especially if a list someone's subscribed to loops).
