Yeah, I contacted both listmaster@lists.d.o and the sprintpcs.com
postmaster a few days ago about it but haven't heard anything yet.

They normally do, but my guess is that sprintpcs.com don't know how to
run a mail server and are bouncing to the From: header rather than the
envelope sender.
Perhaps someone in the States could just phone that number and see
what's going on? I'm assuming the local-part of that e-mail address is
just the phone number.
