There are various people subscribed to the qmail mailing list or a sublist
thereof, and whose accounts reside on horribly broken mail servers.  These
servers notice a problem like the above, and then generate a bounce --
unfortunately, they violate RFC2821 in doing so, because they send the bounce
to the address in the From: header (i.e., you) instead of the envelope sender
(i.e. ezmlm on list.cr.yp.to).

I suggest you do what I do:

1.  After this happens the first time, send an email message to postmaster at
the offending domain.  Explain the problem, and why they should fix it.

2.  If they make good-faith efforts to resolve the problem, stop here.

3.  If "postmaster@domain" bounces, or the postmaster refuses to consider the
possibility that they are causing problems for the net at large, refuse SMTP
connections from that host.
