More funny error messages

Just for curiosity, does anyone recognize this e-mail address
, and/or know why, for the past couple of weeks,
some (most? all???) of my posts to Minutus generate an "Undeliver message"
like the one below? Is anyone else getting these?

Thanks,

Hi ! , this is the Epatra SMTP mail server on mail.epatra.com.

I am sending you this message to inform you on the delivery status of
a message you previously sent. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your
message to the following addresses.

Yes, I have been getting many of them :-(

I have even had one from myself with an attachment about a virus (to
lyghtforce and even got the acknowledgement as well). On and on it goes and
I think we just have to learn to ignore them, trash them, be wary about them
and best not to open them. They usually have subject headers which indicate
them as obvious rubbish.

I've been getting them too, but then I receive a copy of my message, ostensibly from Minutus, so I assume my messages are getting through despite the weird mail server message. I wonder if perhaps Ardavan could check with Yahoo and get an explanation???

In theory, the bounce should go to the list moderator and NOT to the
sender of the message.
Maybe the list moderator will take the address off the list.

i have been getting these funny messages by the bushels. some of them trip
my
mcafee security program as virus laden posts. some of them mention minutus
and
others dont. most of them have been attachments which is why i wont open
any
attachments ever anymore.

This reminded me to say that I think it was this address which was initially
identified as the person who allegedly hacked into the Yahoo passwords a
couple of months back (which is why some of us seem to be getting messages
from people we know but they are fake) - they were on the list themselves at
this time but don't appear to be so now but the commotion is still going on.

Oh great, well that would explain it. I don't suppose stealing e-mail
addresses is prosecutable? If it isn't yet, I'm certain it will be; this
sort of "identity theft" is minor (I suppose), it's also despicable and
annoying. I really don't *like* having people think that I am sending them
viruses and stupid junk mail. Argh (she said, succinctly)...

Yes lots Shannon, me to, and some virus has caused me a lot of heart ache I
have 2 virus systems and one of those virus things that is coming through on
this site wipped out my computer,and now I have 3 virus systems and I am
considerably poorer and I do not want to disconnect from this group even
though I get busy and do not contribute as much as I would like, I like the
varied approaches a lot, BUT it is starting to be a problem?
