If you are getting to some kind of LISTSERV address at your end, then 
that address is a member of the list "listinfo" - which appears to be 
a collection of various LISTSERVs which have Mac related topics. 

Somebody in Bulgaria is playing games, as mac.vmei.acad.bg is sending 
this mail, but is refusing to accept mail. I have begun to deflect 
the mail still coming to my server address back to 
postmaster@vmei.acad.bg

They are either trashing the mail, not bothering about it, or are 
party to this game of never ending loop of listserv sending error 
message to a list address whose members are the same listservs 
sending the error message. Only way this is going to stop is if 
listinfo stops bugging the LISTSERVs or the various LISTSERV admins 
stop processing mail from listinfo@mac.vmei.acad.bg

I used to get one a minute. Now it is one every 10 minutes. So may be 
it is slowing down. I could not ignore it, because each message to my
mail-server is triggering an error message and a help file.
