It's impolite to spam a mailing list with an autoresponder. If you were
using a sane MTA/MUA, there are many on this list who would be happy to
help you reconfigure.
I received this header from postmaster@iConnectHere.com. He felt that
it was likely a klez artifact. He didn't say whether an attachment
accompanied the original.

End of mail header--------
I was surprised that he bothered to write. That he did, eased my
attitude :). I did write back to thank him for responding.
