In fact, when writing the email that started this thread, it was only to pgsql-performance@postgresql.org (I double-checked by using emacs on my Thunderbird "Sent" folder), yet I still got another "undeliverable" reply along with your message:

>> This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
>> Delivery to the following recipients failed.
>> martin@usaemail.enpocket.com

This means that usaemail.enpocket.com has seriously misconfigured mail
software --- it's bouncing undeliverable messages to the From: address
rather than to the envelope sender (which will be pgsql-performance-owner
for a message coming through the pgsql-performance list).  This is
generally considered sufficiently unfriendly behavior that proof of it
is grounds for instant ejection from a mailing list, because the From:
address is someone who has no control over where the mailing list tries
to deliver to.  Certainly it's grounds for ejection from any PG list.
Send the bounce message with full headers to the list admin (Marc
Fournier, scrappy at postgresql.org) and martin@usaemail.enpocket.com
will soon be an ex-subscriber.
