Thank you. The "No such file or directory" message is bogus; fixing this
is on the to do list; the rest is relevant.

Any idea how the address got there? I suspect it's come through
mlmmj-sub via a web interface or something? I know mlmmj-sub doesn't
have particularly adequate validation at present.

It most certainly could be. I've had a look at the relevant code and
can't quickly spot a bug, though.

There isn't a followup error message after the Error in RCPT TO, is there? I don't 
expect one, but it's worth checking!

The person is a regular subscriber, not digest, right?

OK. Good to know. Once we're closer to finding what's going on, this
might make a difference.

Ben.
