These messages usually mean that somebody who is a subscriber to the
DJGPP mailing list either had their account removed or else their
machine has hard connectivity problems.  Apart from bouncing to the
message originator, the error message also goes to the mail
administrator on the machine that runs the list server (and guess who
is that administrator on the DJ's server?).  So the usual reaction of
a good netizen would be to quitely send those bounced messages to the
trash bin and wait for DJ to take that user off the list.  If the
messages continue to bounce after a few days, *then* you might send
personal mail to DJ and to postmaster@<the machine of the user whose
mail bounces> and ask them politely to take care of this.
