This is because someone has a full mailbox who subscribes to the list, the MTA that is handling their ISP thinks the mail came directly from you to them and sends you the notification. You will often see a similar problem with people who don't disable their mailing list subscriptions when they go on vacation or a business trip so you get an "away" message from them. Most mailing lists I get two or three every time I send a message. There is nothing the mailing list can do about it, it is caused by a subscriber's ISP having a misconfigured MTA. -- Harry Henry Gebel, Senior Developer, Landon House SBS ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
