Eric, I don't get a lot of these, but here is the front portion of a recent
strange, very long message that supposedly "bounced" back to me but I didn't
send it: 

It came from: <MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject was: failure notice

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at smtp4.tidc.telus.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<harveym@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
