The reason is that we had a seriuos hardware breakdown on info.cern.ch. First
a memory failure and then a disk died. We temporaryly replaced it with an old
disk that hasn't been updated for two month. The result was that the list
processor used old mailing lists and hence tried to mail to non-existing 
addresses.

We now have a new disk and recovered the data, so the problem should not 
exist anymore.

Sorry for the inconvenience
