The reason this was a bad thing was because I was randomly generating the (bogus) addresses. I know the welcome message was being sent out for them all 'cause our postmaster saw every single one of those bounces ;-} It was an accident, I swear! I meant to turn off sending the welcome message...
Yeah, we're still on speaking terms, but I had to help him upgrade from Mailman v 1.0b2 :-)
