A few days ago, there was some traffic on this list about problems with
non-delivery notices coming from domain AX.COM.  I was having problems with
subscription to CLIMLIST from this domain so I contacted the technical guy for
the domain and he tells me this.....

Ack.   Ok, basically.. We've got some idiot out on the net that is faking
email and sending requests to many if not all of the LISTSERV lists at PSU.
 
All we can do is try and remove them from the lists.. It creates all
sorts of bounces for a lot of folks.  There isn't much I can do on this
end..
 
It was probably "psyche" or "jessica"...
 
Anyone from AX.COM should not be allowed on any of those lists.. None of the
folks in my domain need access..
 
Thanks for your help..

This doesn't explain why [log in to unmask] sends 55 (in my case) non-delivery
messages for every misdirected mail item but it does suggest that we should all
routinely delete all subscribers at ax.com.
 
My suggestion is to use QUIET when you do it as the notification will itself
generate dozens of non-delivery notices.
