It is not documented, but 'daemon' is assumed to be a (runaway) machine process
and not a human.  Like 'postmaster' and certain other words it is part of the
standard LISTSERV "filter" and will not be passed or acted upon.  For obvious
reasons we will not document all the possible words in this filter.

This same query has already shown up elsewhere.  If it is a real person (about
which we begin to have some doubt) they simply must change their userID to be
acceptable to LISTSERV.
