Lists: pgsql-www

Can you perhaps track it down through the logfiles on the MX machine,
using the ESMTP id of the last hop out of postgresql.org/hub.org?

Since it appears to be a mail hosting company who *also* happens to use
postini/google for their antispam, it can be pretty much any domainname
at all, I think... And we can't very well null-route any address who
uses postini as their relayers, becuase loads of legit users do that...
