The messages should include a copy of the intercepted message, which
should allow you to determine to what address it was directed.

You say that the message is bouncing back and forth, but since the
address is served out LISTSERV shouldn't be responding to the
autoresponder at this point.  (It might have been responding earlier,
until it received fifty consecutive bad commands from the address.)

See if the address is subscribed to any mailing lists (q * for
email@address).  If so, remove it.  If not, and if the messages
persist, contact the administrator of the mail server that's
generating the messages and request that they stop the messages.

Thanks,
