But.... Then where's the mail?  I posted the whole job.  The domains are
phony and KAMANDANU does have an Internet marketing presence but I didn't
see anything commercial.  I'm guessing Aldrian is running Listserv and
is either testing something (what?) or the server itself has been nudged
into trying to do some routine function beyond its current station in life.

So far it looks like a benign configuration problem to me, but I'm also
suspicious that some geek might be probing the Listserv uh, subnet, for
some non-benign purpose.  Suspicious, paranoid, whatever.
