following on from 'random email from...' thread, I have received the following email. Is this a genuine email? I doubt it as I got this the last time just before getting the spam.

Here is the text of the email:

------------------------------------

Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
gallery @ nextlimit.com mailing list.

I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at gallery-owner @ nextlimit.com.


Messages to you from the gallery mailing list seem to
have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce
message I received.

If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces,
I will remove your address from the gallery mailing list,
without further notice.


I've kept a list of which messages from the gallery mailing list have
bounced from your address.

Here are the message numbers:

6
7
9
14
15

--- Enclosed is a copy of the bounce message I received.

Return-Path: <>
Received: (qmail 13311 invoked for bounce); 24 Mar 2008 12:31:45 -0000

From: MAILER-DAEMON[@]nextlimit.com
To: gallery-return-6- @ nextlimit.com
Subject: failure notice

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at nextlimit.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

end of email text.

Anyone else getting this? And what should be done with it?

Nothing like that here.
Thankfully.

"As part of maintenance, mailing lists automatically unsubscribe any email addresses that repeatedly bounce messages. If you receive a 'bounce warning' or 'probe' email, please ignore it, as this means that delivery has been successful and you will continue to be subscribed to the list. If you seem to have stopped receiving messages (and you have not received a 'bounce warning' or 'probe' email) then your email address may have been removed by maintenance. Please subscribe again to the list if you would like to continue to receive the messages."
