Yes, along with five others that were also about two weeks old.
I recall having noticed several other such incidents in the recent
past, all bearing headers that indicate the retransmitted messages
originally went from the mail list to one <Z(dot)Nijmeyers(at)cable(dot)a2000(dot)nl>.
Start of reinjection of this one (note date):

This morning I sent a polite note to postmaster(at)cable(dot)a2000(dot)nl, warning
them that they've got a problem with mail looping. It promptly bounced
back with
postmaster(at)cable(dot)a2000(dot)nl:
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:
<postmaster(at)cable(dot)a2000(dot)nl>:
host hardy-1.a2000.nl [192.168.17.13]:
550 Invalid recipient <postmaster(at)cable(dot)a2000(dot)nl>
(Sending to postmaster(at)a2000(dot)nl instead probably won't help, since it
MX's to the same machines.)
I conclude that a2000.nl is run by a bunch of idiots who can't read
RFCs, let alone operate a mail server competently. I expect that
we will continue to get blessed with regurgitated messages until Marc
pulls any a2000.nl addresses from the mailing lists :-(
regards, tom lane
