Fwd: ezmlm warning

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@suse.com>]

All,

for quite some time I've been getting one of these every once in a while.
Perhaps after some email system change over here, but see below.

It would really be helpful if one could identify these messages in the list
archive. So far I've not been able to correlate the numbers to anything the
list archive web pages would show.

The question here is: Is the "Remote host" right? If yes, wouldn't it be better
to tell the sender of the original mail, so that they would (re)send well formed
mails? If not, once again it would be nice if identifying the messages in the
list archives was easily possible.
