Its an error message created by majordomo.

I'd rather modify it to redirect to /dev/null unless its a real

It is at the most recent.

No you have it right....I seem to recall you saying that errors were
going to list owners and you did some type of small mod, but thats all

true.

Ok...I'll forward this there as well.
