This following line(s):

> To: "        -         (052)LISTSERV":;@usrsa2.sagus.com
>(052);

does not comply with RFC822 for a variety of reasons.  I don't see anything
else wrong with the headers so that's probably what LISTSERV is complaining
about.

If you're getting these errors consistantly then something in your mail
system may be munging the "To:" header for some reason.  The only reason I
think this might be what's happening is that otherwise I'm not sure how the
message could have successfully reached LISTSERV at all.
