Dan, I had a similar thing happen to me on Debbie's jfw lite list a few
years back.  Whenever I'd send a message to list, I'd get a notice saying
that my message to ziegler@xxxxxxxxxx was rejected and being returned to me.
Yet all my messages were going to list. There was nothing I could do about
it, the person on the list had a virus, and it picked me.

this is not the problem I'm having.  Again:

1.  I send a message or a reply to this list
2.  The message posts normally to the list.
3.  I receive a rejected mail notice, but *not* from this list.  The notice
informs me that my attempt to email someone named Cheryl McFarlane has been
rejected several times and is being returned to me.  The notice, as is
normal, comes with my rejected message included as an attachment.  And it
has the same subject line as the message I've just posted to the list.

In other words, when I write to the list as I'm doing right now, the message
goes to the list and is also sent to Cheryl McFarlane, whoever that is, and
Cheryl McFarlane's personal filter or email server rejects it, and I'm
notified of this.

Naturally, I haven't sent anything to Cheryl McFarlane.  And I don't know
how my messages to the list are being snatched and sent to an address in her
name.

Hope that's more clear.

I just got a bounced message also, but I know my message showed up, at least
it did in my JFW mail filter. I haven't found a reply yet, but I got it back
on the list mail, and then received a notice that it couldn't be delivered.
I checked, and I didn't find anyone's name other than JFW in the message
source.

Okay, whoever is following this with any curiosity or sympathy.  Here's
something I hadn't noticed when I first wrote in about this issue.  I just
used Insert A to see what the returned message might be that's attached to
the rejected mail notice.  Well, check this out-- the subject line of each
rejected message returned to me as if I'd tried to mail it to Cheryl
McFarlane, whoever that is, and her email server had rejected it, is the
subject line of my most recent message to this very list!  In a moment, as
soon as I send this to the list, I'll get another notice telling me my
message to Cheryl McFarlane bearing this very subject line is being returned
and advising me that it might be stuck in a loop of some sort.

For the really tech savvy here, this ought to be a clue about something or
other.  Whatever is doing this is connected to this list, and email under my
name and with the subject line of my most recent message to this list is
being automatically sent to someone and being returned to me personally.

I forwarded a copy of one of these notices to my ISP tech support people so
they could check out the headers, but meantime, I just wanted to mention
this.  Maybe someone here has a bug that's gotten into their address book
and they don't know it.
