Wow - this is messed up. Here's what I saw your address come up as:
From: "\"Steve Lane\" <@qs483.pair.com stevenrobertlane@" <nospamplease@peeron.com>yahoo.co.uk@qs483.pair.com
My guess is that the email you entered in your posting setup was
not a valid email (probably in an attempt to spamblock it). The admins
approved it, and so the server is sending out an email with an invalid
"from" address, which every mailserver on the way is trying to fix.
Perhaps you can re-setup with a valid email address? The bug here is on
the server, because even with spamblocks, it shouldn't really accept
addresses that are just not RFC valid. But since the code is frozen,
it's up to the users to work around the bugs.
