Yep, I get this too. glmrboy@ektar.CALARTS.EDU and a couple of
addresses in China.
I think the the mailing list software should be modifying the
return path to point to itself (as most other mailing list
programs do).
Here are the headers to your email as I received it :

That third header field "Return-Path: <rwd@cableinet.co.uk>" should be
rewritten by the mailing list software to be somethng like
"Return-Path: <saol-dev-owner@media.mit.edu>"
Maybe we could get this fixed and prevent the only pain
associated with posting to this list.
Cheers,
Erik
