Yes it is. It is based on the nomoretoday.txt template and it is sent
when some kind of autoresponse would have been sent, but we've already
sent MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY to that user in this day.

Autoresponses are things like 'your post is held' notifications and all
the messages configured in the Auto-responder Section of the admin
interface.

I think you have an address loop somewhere in the configuration of your
mailman at promed.isid.org site list. That is the list that is involved.
Or, possibly it's an undeliverable address in owner or moderator of
that list.

If 'myserver.org' is not 'promed.isid.org', then check the host_name on
the General Options page of the mailman list, and if it's not
'promed.isid.org', then the message may originate on another server.
Look at the Received: headers.
