Folks obviously someone's email server or host is down and the address used to
be valid. mail saves these for however long the sendmail daemons (unix) save and
try to resend. If they don't make it it times out and send a copy back to the
sender to alert them. So expect more one for every email to the list you sent
until either the name is deleted from the alias or the host/server is receiving
again.. This is the only address I have seen bouncing, as I got copies also.
