ah, okay. that's certainly possible. it was unclear since the headers were
clipped from the original bounce message.
 
despite what peter weiss says, i've still have experiences with this kind
of message coming from the list's host when it is unable to establish a
connection with the recipient's host. for the most part, these are "soft"
errors and usually are not reported ("Precedence: junk", when a host
respects it, is a good thing). in fact, the only time i see these bounces
anymore is when postmaster reports a hard error (user unknown, mail unde-
livered): if the post which generated the hard bounce had any soft bounces
associated with it, they are listed as well.
