Then I would guess that someone is sending mail in your name - probably a 
spammer. Unfortunately I don't think anything can be done about this, but 
if there can be, I've CC'd the Sourceware overseers who would know. If not, 
then sorry.

Given the absence of any suggestions from the overseers, I imagine the 
answer is no, in which case your options are to either track down the 
culprit yourself using the message headers, or to just filter these bounces 
using message filters so although you receive them you never see them. I 
see you are using MS Outlook, in which case have a look at this page:

http://www.calpoly.edu/~emailcal/documentation/massmail/ol-filter.html

Hope this helps. For what it's worth I get several bounces a day from 
spammers using my address.

Yep, the china.com bit is the giveaway. Bart removed a guy called
zhangtao@china.com. Perhaps he resubscribed - now that I'm a list
maintainer I can check! I'll do that now...

It kind of looks like somebody has subscribed ecos-discuss to itself.

Or else you sent a message which included a Mailing-List header for
some reason.

FW: failure notice

What's up with this?  This was sent as a simple response to a message
