Those mailbox-names are a bit peculiar, but my first guess would be SPAM and/or virus/trojan traffic where your 'XXXXXX' list was forged in the From field and the addresses shown in your DEMR were in the To field.  However, showing "no such list" as the error condition discredits that idea somewhat - usually such DEMR entries (at least when seen on the site I administer) are the result of a remote mailer sending a non-delivery-notice after accepting the spam/malware message - this looks like your site was actually trying to deliver a message to the CUNY machine and got a reject in the SMTP conversation.

You might try a search of your site LISTSERV log files, and the logs on the outbound-mail-handler system your LISTSERV delivers through, to glean a bit more detail about what is happening.

We are running LISTSERV 15.5 and lately I have noticed on a number of lists a "550 No such list." error.  One thing in common is the use of a HEX name, like 2.0006194D at a LISTSERV address (see example below). Since we aren't sending email to these addresses, where do they come from and is there an easy way to block them without disrupting "normal" LISTSERV "network" activities?
