Yikes!  Somebody has mail very misconfigured.

First remove the user from your list.  

Second put something in your taboo_headers or body to stop this sort of
thing (It would take a closer look at the message to see exactly what.) 

Third shout VERY LOUDLY at the adminsistrator of the site that is feeding
messages back in that way.  They have no business being on the net if they
do stuff like that.
