Can you determine the original email domain from the Received headers, perhaps? I think I found the offending address, which I won't name on this mailing list. I have disabled the address so please let me know if you continue to see the autoresponses so that we can either rejoice or I can re-enable the poor guy and we can all continue to despair.

Ah, I didn't get a response spam for that message, and I /did/ get
one when I sent a test email to the suspect address. So I think I
nailed it. I've also sent a polite email to their postmaster
in complaint.
