This is the important part:

>Receiver not found: lilabeans

Since CompuServe doesn't bother to give you the entire address (someday
maybe they'll install a modern Internet mail system; until then we just
have to suffer along), you sort of have to guess at the hostname.  In any
case issuing the command

SCAN ESH lilabeans

will probably come up with the correct address to delete ("Receiver not
found" is the same thing as "No such user").  My guess is that the address
you are looking for is [log in to unmask], that being the hostname I've
had to use lately to delete CompuServe users instead of the more intuitive
COMPUSERVE.COM that they used to use.  Ah, yes, indeed, looking further
down the headers I see:

>Received: from maelstrom.stjohns.edu (maelstrom.stjohns.edu [149.68.1.24])
>        by hpamgaac.compuserve.com
>(8.8.8/8.8.8/HP-1.8) with ESMTP id FAA16753
>        for <[log in to unmask]>;

Sometimes you have to look a bit further down in the headers to find the
right address, for instance if the mail was forwarded to the Compuserve
account by some other mailbox, ie, an INAME.COM redirect or a redistribution
list.  That doesn't appear to be the case here but it's something you have
to look out for.

Anyway the point is that you need to delete this user [log in to unmask]
from your list and the errors should stop.
