This is new. I've been getting these directly to me too after I post.
What can Debian do about this?

It seems that some newsgroup has decided to tie into the list but then
rejects everything noisilty back to the posters.

Doug.

You're not the only one to get them. This evening (around 30-Sep
00:02 UTC), I received 19 of them, with original email dates
stretching back to Wednesday 26-Sep.

linux.debian.* are mail to news gateways to the lists.debian.org
mailing lists. Usually, that message is sent when you post to
linux.debian.* without first subscribing to linux-gate@lists.bofh.it

linux-gate appears to be experiencing a few problems atm.

Looks like a debian-user subscriber created a mail loop, I stopped the
gateway while I am investigating.
