Some email clients and mail servers can be set to challenge email from unknown senders, requiring some sort of validation before letting the email go through. Usually you only have to reply to the message sent by the server. Once you do that your email address is added to an 'approved' list and you won't have to do it again.

In this case, the bounce appears to have come from an email sent by an individual, not the AMPS reflector. It's a nuisance for sure, but so is spam, about which we really shouldn't get into a discussion, right? Let's just say that the email addresses of all who post to AMPS show up in the archives, for easy stealing by spambots. So if you reply directly to an AMPS user, or CC the user in a reply, you may get one of these notices. It's a reflection of the times we live in. Think of it like PL on a repeater.
