Yes, and there's an "AOL Canada", too.

I don't come to the same conclusion, though I see that ID.

LISTSERV uses a "distribute" technique.
So, if there's a "bottleneck" between a "backbone" host in Europe
and the nearest "backbone" host to your site, there is the possibility
of a delay. Given that you're not paying for any of this TCP/IP traffic,
I think that you're getting *great* service for "free",
so don't "kill the goose that laid the golden egg". :-)

As usual, skip to the "bottom" and read to the "top".

8. The "mailer" on 'PHILIPS.DE' (also known as 'SCAX18.PHILIPS.DE')
generated the "not authorized" message, and, for some reason,
chose *YOUR* ID (since it was available on a 'From:' tag ??)
as the target for the E-mail, conveniently ignoring both the
'Sender:' and 'Return-Path:' tags, if, indeed, they hadn't
been stripped by all this "forwarding".
So, you should send E-mail to [log in to unmask],
i.e., to the "list-owner", telling him/her that E-mail to Wilhelm
cannot be delivered, and asking him/her to either:
- contact Wilhelm,
- cancel the "forwarding",
- remove Wilhelm's ID from the KVB-L mailing-list.

7. The message came back to the 'SCAX18' host, which seems to be the
"mail-gateway" between Philip's (Germany) network and the Internet-at-large.

6. The host 'PMSHH07' tried to "re-mail" the message to an AOL ID.

5. The host 'PMS-HH' passed the message to the host 'PMSHH07'.

4. 'SCAX18' passed the message to 'PMS-HH',
while acting as the "mail-exchanger".

3. A copy was delivered to 'SCAX18.PHILIPS.DE', on behalf of the ID:
[log in to unmask] Wilhelm Brenzinger
Note that the host 'SCAX18.PHILIPS.DE' is defined to be the
"mail-exchanger" host for 'PMS-HH.PHILIPS.DE'.
So, it's to be expected that this has happened.

2. LISTSERV uses a "distribute" technique to get your posting to each
subscriber. So, [log in to unmask], being a "backbone" node,
was enlisted to assist in the distribution.

1. Your posting was received by 'KVB-L', was processed by LISTSERV,
and was distributed to each subscriber, including the KVB-L subscriber:
[log in to unmask] Wilhelm Brenzinger
How/when 'PMS-HH.PHILIPS.DE' got replaced by 'IONET.NET'
is quite a different problem!
Perhaps, the line read: 'To: Wilhelm Brenzinger <DE25BRZ@>',
i.e., an "unqualified" name, and some software-bug picked the
most-recent "suffix" ('IONET.NET') and attached it ?!?!

0. Given that the Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod)
and the Lutheran Church - Canada do not ordain women,
and that the president of a Lutheran seminary must be ordained,
it's not surprising that the ELCIC (Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada)
was the first to make such an appointment.
