There exists a bug in GNU Mailman which is supposed to receive errors and
automatically "Disable" the account from receiving mail.  That bug is the
reason we're seeing the mail errors.  We're seeing this particular server
because they saved up a months worth and after the mail ages for 30 days sends
the error to mingw-users-owner.

So, there is nothing we can do from sourceforge about these except wait. 
Hopefully Paul Sokolovsky's mail to the server owner will help.
