Yes, I've been getting it.  The problem is that LMIG.COM doesn't know
what they're doing.

They're sending completely useless bounce letters, not quoting any
portion of the failed message (at _least_ quote the Message-Id:, folks,
preferably the Received: headers too, ideally all the headers).  When I
sent mail to the weird address their bounces appear to come from, it
was bounced by MAILER-DAEMON@liberty.lmig.com.  I sent mail to
postmaster@tsod.lmig.com and postmaster and MAILER-DAEMON
@liberty.lmig.com; postmaster@tsod.lmig.com bounced(!).  I then sent
another letter to postmaster@liberty.lmig.com and galloj@LMIG.COM (the
latter being the NIC-registered contact for lmig.com) about that - and
galloj@lmig.com bounced, with the "local configuration error - hostname
not recognized as local" error that means whoever wrote the sendmail.cf
file got it wrong.

_I_ think lmig.com just doesn't have the expertise to deserve a net
connection.  Mistakes I can forgive, perhaps, but they've made too many
mistakes and are being too slow to react.  (I sent all these letters on
Thursday, and it's still happening and I haven't heard a thing from
them.  Two never-supposed-to-fail addresses bouncing, no response to
mail to postmaster....)

I'm very tempted to "which lmig.com" and then unsubscribe the relevant
addresses, but I believe too strongly that it's not for me to
unsubscribe someone else from the lists.  If this keeps up, though, I
may "which lmig.com" and send the result to majordomo-owner describing
the trouble and requesting removal of the offending address(es).
