AIUI, someone is registered to receive e-mails from this
echo. The e-mail sent to that address are then forwarded
to another e-mail address at uol.br. This ISP then sends
a challenge, seemingly to reduce SPAM, aka UCE. This is
sent to the originator of the message which got duplicated
to the list.

The list admins could simply deny access to the one person
who is subscribed in this manner, if they knew who it
was. These e-mails are an attempt to discover who the culprit
is.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
