Machtelt Garrels is working on this. I looks like our listmaster
can't be located to fix this so Machtelt plans to do it herself.
Somehow, sites that are automatic responders have gotten subscribed to
our mailing list. It's likely due to abuse. The auto-responders get
a copy of each message sent to the list and since there's a certain
format for requests sent to auto-responders and a normal email message
makes no sense to the responder, the message gets bounced back to the
original sender.

If you had read over why it was rejected, you might have been able to
understand what was happening.
