     Just a thought, but are you sure those messages are from the
Linux-Thinkpad mailer daemon?  They might be response from individual
list members' MTAs or spam filters.

     Granted, the list sets the reply-to header, so any auto-replies
should be going back to the mailing list manager, but the above is the
first idea that springs to mind.

     Also, on general principle you should check to see if your host
(or mail service) is block-listed with any of the anti-spam sites.
