The Outages list is receiving hard bounces from *some* email address hosted
at Qwest/Centurylink.
Alas, the bounce message comes from "qwestrsp@centurylink.com", and neither
the headers nor the message body *identifies the invalid address*.
This does not seem to conform with best practices. :-)
If you're in responsible charge of that mail service, could you please
contact me off-list, that we might track down who it is, and maybe modify
your bouncer to properly include the bounced address?
(Side note: what error messages are generate by *code you've written*, folks,
that don't include parameters because "they should be obvious to the sender"?)
All replies off list, please, this is cross-posted[1].
Cheers,
