The server responsible for the intended recipient's mail - the 
recipient's ISP or company mail server I guess. The source address of 
the message is postmaster@<recipient's real domain> and the text I 
posted is all I get except for a transcript of the original mail as 
received by the server generating the error. The outgoing mail from the 
list to recipients goes via my ISP's smtp server. That server gives me 
useful errors which I can interpret and act upon.
