What happens is that there is a configuration error on the
site tsod.lmig.com, which returns an error message because a message
was not delivered. Unfortunately, the error message is sent to
the Reply-To: address, i.e. the entire Unicode mailing list. Unfortunately,
this causes again the error message to be sent back to tsod.lmig.com, which
triggers another error message. It seems that the fundamental law of
networking that says "NEVER reply with an error message on anything that
looks like an error message" has been violated here by this strange
tsod.lmig.com site. This subscriber should be removed from the Unicode
mailing list until they install less dangerous e-mail software. In the
meantime, use a mailing filter like procmail to discard those messages
automatically.
