     Pete,

     Hmmm. Ok, bear with me, I'm still learning. It's probably not option 1
     because the list is not open to public subscriptions. We have an admin
     that adds new subscribers by sending the "Add listname pw=xx e-mail
     firstname lastname" command. So that leaves option 2.

     Is it that the subscriber has their e-mail address forwarded to another
     address OR that the domain is forwarding it to another domain and so
     on? That makes sense. So, I should try sending the
     [log in to unmask] a message and see what the result it as well
     as ask for their advice on why the problem migh be occuring.

     Also, I've included the details from the returned error message.


     Thanks,

     Mike Smith

It could be any one of a number of things:

1) the user is subscribed with personal distribution options other than SHORT

2) a mail forwarding loop exists and the number of RECEIVED: line headers
exceeds an SENDMAIL's threshold.

Contact the postmaster at the site.  If that also loops, look for other MX
hosts, or higher level domains.  Sometimes finding related hostnames for the
authoritative DNSes provide additional avenues of pursuit/notification.
