No, the list-server is working perfectly. This happens on numerous
mailing lists I'm on from time to time. It's the mail server at
ares.orfei.org that's misbehaving. Mail servers are **supposed** to
send such bounce messages to the address in the Return-Path header.
Messages from this contain the following header:
Return-Path: <address@hidden>
Some mail servers, such as the one at ares.orfei.org, ignore that
header and send bounce messages to the person who actually send the
e-mail to the list. The only thing the list-owner could do is report
the problem to the postmaster at ares.orfei.org and/or unsubscribe
opencobol at ares.orfei.org from the list.
