The main problems are:

#1) the mailer at culture.fr doesn't check whether the mail it's
complaining about originated outside or within culture.fr before it
send its complaint

#2) the mailer at culture.fr doesn't check whether the mail it's
complaining about came from itself or any other auto-responder

#3) the mailer at unicode.org doesn't set the envelope-from to
uni-bounce@unicode.org

If #3 were fixed, we'd then see whether the mad mailer at culture.fr
was responding to the Reply-To: address or to the envelope-from
address. This would then give more opportunity for snide comments or
one or other mailer...
