[Wien] my membership to the mailing list gets disabled every 3 weeks

After switching on the notification, I got 5 emails with bounce 
information. 4 of them because of "user not known", i.e. the email does 
not exist anymore and mailman should unsubscribe this mail after some time.
One concerns Laurence Marks with a strange "Autoreply" and the mail 
contains:
