I'll offer that suggestion.  Anthony did mention that he will be doing some
upgrading when I talked to him; on the other hand, when this happened some
time ago, he was moving and setting up his own server, and was going to
transition the list to his new personal server, and that never happened.
So...

The sysadmin at <bcausa.com>, where the "jeffress" person has not worked for
a year, just deleted jeffress from their internal mail list (that's what
started the bounces), but did not take them off their internal listserv
distribution list.  The nice Norah Mazer person from BCA (who responded to
the list that jeffress no longer worked there) that I spoke with got the
sysadmin while we were chatting and the sysadmin said that they would get
them deleted from the listserv list right away.  I note that the bounces are
still occurring at least an hour after that conversation.  I hope they get
around to it before they head home for the night...
