This is usually a subscriber who has thier mail forwarded to the
compuspend address, and the cs address is no longer valid.

If you have access to the server logs, I think you can get the correct
address from there, or so I have heard.  Not having such access,  what I
have done is to send a test email to every subscriber except those on
NOMAIL with the subscriber address in the subject such as "Subject: CAVM-L
Test email to whomever@node" and a brief note in the body sayiny that
this is a test to locate a bad list address and please don't reply, just
delete.  Of course, a few lusers will still respond "Its not me", just
ignore them.  Hopefully, you will get a bounce from cs.com with a
subscriber address in the sender, then delete that subscriber.

I don't do this by hand,  I use a macro in my terminal emulator.

Perhaps I should offer this as a service.  What might it be worth?
