Try to contact them, or, more likely him.
They seem to be into retro-computing, and there is a line
X-MailConverter: SoupGate-Win32 v1.05
According to
http://software.tomsweb.net/soupgate.html
development of that software ended around 2000. There is a bugfix
"""
* Fixed bug in SoupGate that would cause hosted mailing
list messages and commands to be processed normally
even if they were detected as being junk mail; this
could cause quite an interesting game of virtual tennis
between SoupGate and "Mail Delivery Subsystem"...
"""
While not exactly the same, "virtual tennis" seems to be a good description
of what we see now, only 17 years later...
