In the detailed help for this field it reads: When "umbrella_list" is set to indicate that this list has other mailing lists as members, then administrative notices like confirmations and password reminders need to not be sent to the member list addresses, but rather to the owner of those member lists. In that case, the value of this setting is appended to the member's account name for such notices. `-owner' is the typical choice. This setting has no effect when "umbrella_list" is "No". The last sentence indicates that this field is not used anywhere when the field umbrella_list is set to No. This is wrong, because the owner address is used in automatic replies sent to non-subscripted users trying to send a mail to the list, which is automatically rejected. So, I see two possibilities: Change the description of the field, saying that this suffix also is used for building the list owner address (e.g. list "xxx" means a xxx-owner@domain mail address) or (my favourite way) introduce a new field for setting up a list owner address AND be able to edit this "your message has been rejected" mail message (e.g. using a template for this), because even when I edit the LC_MESSAGES file, I have no chance to edit the english texts without diving into the sources, which makes upgrades a crap. Great software, keep on!
