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.
