The bounces don't show up on the list, so, no annoyance. Interestingly, I got 
this same exact message. Mailing list issue?

I experiences this as well ... I also noted I hadn't received an e-mail from
the gentoo-amd64 list in some time ..... it also listed several hundred
missed e-mails .... a much higher volume then usual for this list .....

Well, if your (Darren's) address wasn't at badcomputer.org I was ready
to blame Gmail. Just kidding. :)

I thing we can't figure out what the problem was w/o seeing the bounced
message (assuming there was one).

Wow. I didn't know I could so easily offend so many people with one 
e-mail. I understand the issue with HTML e-mails, but what's wrong with 
"top-posting"?

Well, I was joking. Actually I myself return personal mails containing
MS Office documents which can't open with OO. The returned mail
contains a request to whoever the sender was to give me money for MS
Office. The money will be well spent on (surprise!) beers in the
nearest pub, but unfortunately everyone sends pdf versions of the
documents instead.
I still keep the hope.

ON-Topic: I hope this little flood-test (10+ mails) proved the problem
with bouncing is gone?

Ok, thanks. I was joking a little too, I just had no clue what could 
possibly be wrong with top-posting. If you post on the bottom, the 
person on the receiving end thinks you've sent a quoted message and 
forgotten to actually write anything (depending on who you're sending it 
to). I like the asking for money idea, I should try it. Cheers.

don't worry, it happens once in a while. Sometimes weeks go by with no bounce, 
sometimes they are several at one day.

I blame the ml-server and my 'isp' mail server being pissy at each other like 
13 year old girls.  After a while everything is fine again. No reason to 
worry about it.

Ah, so top-posting is not, in fact, the problem (according to that 
link), it's providing an excessive amount of quotation, is that correct? 
And if I were to write an e-mail to someone, not referencing anything 
they had sent me before, it would be proper to write that above any 
quotations, right?

I read this list and most others on gmane, so don't see the bounces, but 
I get the gentoo-nfp list in digest form, and get the message about it 
bouncing once in awhile.  Since it's a digest, that's several posts, 
which is frustrating.

I had my ISP check into it and it seems someone is likely posting spam or 
the like, which gets digested with the other messages by the listbot, 
then rejected due to the URL in the spam being on a blacklist my ISP 
uses.  They said I could try to take it further, coordinating with the 
list admin and my ISP to see what might be done, but no guarantees.  But 
it doesn't happen too often and at least now I know what's going on, so 
I've not worried about it... except that it's still frustrating to miss 
the messages, but I can look them up in the Gentoo archive if I need to.
