Right, in view of the responses: member at my.list is a "place holder" and 
I am not prepared to reveal the real email address. Perhaps the fake 
address should be more enlightening though. person at some.isp.com would 
be more suitable. 

Basically, when the list sends a mail, person at some.isp.com responds with 
an error. IT  DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE EXACT DESTINATION ADDRESS IS and 
I am absolutely not prepared to reveal the details of the target email 
address.
