Andrew specifically asked if we could have these mails bounced *before*
they reached Majordomo. That's where it started. He only asked for
bouncing email that pretended to be from the list itself, though, which
is a lot less (and easier/safer to do) than what was suggested by both
me and JD. Perhaps Andrews suggestion can be implemented?

great! :-)
