Especially annoying?  You'll get a bounce warning.  That's all.  You
don't have to do anything about it; just wait for the moderator to
approve it.  In fact, when I (as the sender) get those, I just delete
them.

(I admit that it is not as nice as on Usenet, which doesn't have the
whole "subscriber" concept so this is all moot.)
