Not specifically, but mail to my list address that is not to a list  
goes into a quarantine that I look at only on rare occasions. I never  
saw the copy sent to the list though. The one directly to me is in the  
quarantine and I pulled it out after seeing your second reply.

I thought so, but it looks like they all are (this is the only one  
ever 5 minutes, so it overwhelmed the others)

FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE with no weird chroot stuff.

I'm still looking into it.  I suspect this has something to do with a  
portupgrade as the errors started about the time I was doing a lot of  
updates.

Hmm.. I think I might have found the problem, there was a crontab for  
'nobody' that had the various mailman tasks in it. Mailman runs as the  
user mailman, not nobody. See if that eliminates the issue.
