Which would do nothing but infuriate some poor random user somewhere who 
does get my message due to the server not figuring out who it should go to. 
The worst case scenario is that nobody gets it and nobody does anything 
about it and it just fills up some mailbox somewhere until a human 
administrator examines it and determines it was my munged from address that 
filled the mailbox up in the first place, so cancels my account.

I don't need unexpected account cancellations thank you very much, Mr. 
Easter.  So I would really prefer to leave things unmunged - spammers may 
have my address but they WILL get reported.

Unfortunately, the only possible resolution here is if the .pk server wakes 
up and stops bouncing listserver email to places that a human observer could 
quite easily see it should NOT go to.

And why, of all places, does it have to be .pk - or Pakistan?  Because 
everyone elsewhere seems to know how to properly configure their mailserver 
in order to avoid misdirected bounces like this one.  If I could, I'd have 
it SC reported to admin at lugnet.com, since you seem to have identified them 
as the listserver owner.

I'm pretty sure this spam email is breaking more than a few RFC protocols. 
If the mailserver at lugnet is the sender, it should be the recipient, or at 
the very least the Reply-to:, which it isn't.

Cheers ...
