Correlation does not prove causation, but if the number and timing of the error
messages does, in fact, correspond to the number and timing of list postings, I
would be inclined to suspect that there is a subscriber address which is auto-
forwarding to the address that is generating the delivery errors.

Change the Auto-Delete setting to No. This will cause LISTSERV to forward the
individual delivery error messages to you. If the delivery error messages
include the full headers from the original message, you should be able to
identify the domain, if not the specific address, to which the message was
sent.
