list managemnt issue

[Joel Jaeggli]

Its not spam. it's a bunged mailserver and messages bounce to the sender
rather than the list admins. mail to both postmaster and the techincal
admin contact for that domain have failed. I have thirteen messages in my
lamer folder from yesterday from their mailer telling me it couldn't
deliver the message. If you can't configure your mta properly you don't
belong on mailing lists, period, end of story.
