You did not indicate if * SEND= PRIVATE or EDITOR.  Furthermore, I don't
know if the above "bounce" is the result of a subscription request
that generated a LISTSERV e-mail to: the bogus address.
 
Or perhaps an attempted distribution to the list which generated
a bounce due to some * SEND= operand.
 
The fact that the error monitoring report DID happen is goodness
in my book.
