I would check your sendmail.cw file to make sure  that mail-mx3.min.net 
is there.

Hmmm...are you sure?  (only cuz I am not.. :)

Well, if this isn't the problem you state above (actually, that wouldn't
matter, it would still be needed, as I don't want addresses that do that
subscribed to any of my lists), I'd want to compared the address coming
back in that message to ALL of the MX's for all of the users on all of my
lists, which might then tell me which address on my lists was generating
the error messages, so that I could then pull the address(es) off of the
list(s). 

On a very busy lists, with say, 10 users that all happen to have the same
MX, those error messages will pile up FAST!!!!

Cheers, and I hope that explains it, oh and thanks!
