does this scirocco-l addy exist?

So in other words, it's perfectly fine to block this address from sending me stuff, right? Hasn't disrupted my list traffic yet.

Here is the likely scenario:

Someone that has the scirocco-l address on their computer in some 
fashion has a virus
or spyware "package". This machine also has someone elses email address from
the list on it somewhere. The "package" creates a "loaded" message 
and sends it to
some random address with a random return / from address with this combo:

To: scirocco-l@scirocco.org
from: your-email-address

The list processor sees this message, and rejects it because of the 
"crap-load" attached
to it. Then the message is sent as a "bounce" back to what it 
presumes is the sender,
which is your-email-address. The entire message is contained within 
that bounced email
for reference purposes.

See how much fun this can be? Everyone enjoying the default enabled 
features and security
of the typically compromised OS of the day?
