Unfortunately, chances are that the system which did this is none other
than your local SMTP. This is something I have seen SMTP doing. I will
not even consider wasting my time trying to get IBM to fix this problem
only to have John Wagner immediately tell them that this is a waste of
their time and IBM should not raise a finger to address it. And, unlike
in february, there now *is* a mailer that can handle Netdata files from
SMTP and remove the problem.

Really? This must be an error in the serving out, the GLOBALV LISTSERV is
going to look for is '$POSTMASTER@MAINE' in the DISABLED group. You might
have a case or domain-style address problem.
