When you submit messages to info-ada (like I'm doing now), it is not
uncommon for you to receive messages back from various network entities
such as Mailer-Daemon, Mailer, or perhaps Postmaster at various sites.
Those messages usually are of two forms - those that can be easily
ignored, and those that should be forwarded to info-ada-request for
updating of the mailing list.  Messages of the former kind include
things such as "cannot connect to host - mail requeued", "mail not sent
due to quota exceeded", etc. that indicate a problem of a (hopefully)
temporary nature.  Messages of the latter kind include "User unknown",
and are often indicative of somebody leaving an organization and their
mailbox just simply disappearing, and need to be reflected in the
mailing list.
