Multiple emails

Shannon is right on the money.  The automated messages will continue until John Koontz reads his email -- which he has not been doing.  Messages to his workplace bounce.  Someone in Boulder will probably need to phone him.  And he should remove Blair from the list at the same time.  Until then, just ignore the messages.  Gordon (Carolyn's friend) and Blair's relative are just trying to be helpful.

I suspect that someone set up an auto-responder on her email so they
didn't have to personally reply to all her mail. They're identical,
right down to the name + dash in the greeting. It wouldn't be hard to
script that so that it would put the first name of the recipient in the email.

It appears to be taking the response name out of the headers, and
replying to the reply-to. This is going to happen until someone
unsubscribes her email address from the list (John?)
