Try to contact them, or, more likely him. They seem to be into retro-computing, and there is a line X-MailConverter: SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 According to http://software.tomsweb.net/soupgate.html development of that software ended around 2000. There is a bugfix """ * Fixed bug in SoupGate that would cause hosted mailing list messages and commands to be processed normally even if they were detected as being junk mail; this could cause quite an interesting game of virtual tennis between SoupGate and "Mail Delivery Subsystem"... """ While not exactly the same, "virtual tennis" seems to be a good description of what we see now, only 17 years later... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
