	Actually, the problem is with the receiving mail software at

inreach.com.  All the mail coming from the Miata list has the "Error-to"

field set to go back to a separate address.  I assume Keith checks that

address from time to time to see who is bouncing mail.  The postmaster

at inreach has his software set up wrong, so it is bouncing to the

person in the "From:" field.  Not illegal, but impolite.
