I've suddenly started receiving bucketfuls of error messages
        like the one below.  Note the date on which the original
        message was sent -- I wonder what it's been doing for the past
        six months.
 
        I have no subscriber on the list whose address is anything even
        remotely associated with OAR.NET or with the site identified as
        the original target (flxplt-newcastle-de or email.jrc.com).
 
        The most important question isn't why I'm getting them ... no.
        it's *how do I keep them from continuing to arrive for months?*
