This is a now-famous irritation.  The message is part of an anti-spam
system that sends out these messages to verify the sender.  It has got
to be among the most irritating systems I've seen.  I highly recommend
that you blacklist that domain completely if at all possible.

Unfortunately, whatever subscriber has their email pass through that
system is not subscribed as the reported address, making it very
difficult to figure out what the offending address is in order to remove
it.  The only way would be to send an email to each list subscriber with
a unique subject to fingerprint the offender.

The administrators of that system need to understand the flaw.  They are
aware of the side effects but refuse to do anything about it.  I
encourage anyone who gets these messages to treat them and report them
as spam, to blacklist that domain, and to complain to the domain
administrators.
