Welcome to the world of mailing lists.
Yes, Avnet can delete the guy off the list and I am sure somebody has already
asked them to do that.
The reason we all get the bounced mail is that the receiving mail system can
only send the failed delivery message to the sender, in this case
europa@avnet.co.uk. Because europa@avnet.co.uk is set up as a mail list
server it automatically sends the failed message to everyone of us on the
list!
For some real fun, from my list of how to drive internet users mad, you
should get two mail sites that do this to each other repeatedly. Then the non
delivery messages go up exponentially and eventually kill both mail systems.
Keeps sysadmins busy for hours when that happens :-)
Back to important (ie airplane) things....
I can thoroughly recommend the Renshaw Shears for glass cutting. Thanks Tony.
