Evelyn, LISTSERV interprets any message with an "X-Report-Type:" header as an error report and bounces it to the "Errors-To=" setting for the list for disposition. You need to read the message itself to see what exactly is the problem, e.g., user unknown, can't send message for 2 hours, whatever, and then take appropriate action. If "user unkown", then deletion would be appropriate. If "can't send" delay message, simply waiting is enough. Etc. Just making a summary judgement based on a piece of mail containing this X-header is not possible. I hope this helps.
