You didn't show the TO: or FROM: addresses, but you do mention
YahooGroups and saddle@xxxxxxxxx Neither is mentioned at all in the
body that you quoted, so I must assume that the message is addressed
from YahooGroups to saddle@xxxxxxxxx If this is incorrect, then you
may be making a false assumption somewhere.

I think it would help if you posted the entire message, including the
headers.  "X" out anything that you'd prefer not be public.  As it is,
it just looks puzzling to me.

Anyway, it looks like mx1.lewissaddleshop.com is complaining that the user
"saddle" at lewissaddleshop.com isn't recognized for some reason.  It
kinda looks like it's talking to itself, which is the part that I
don't understand, especially since you say that the message is from
YahooGroups.
