When people send email to our list from an unsubscribed address, they get a responce like this:
And the message goes in a queue to be processed manually by a moderator. It's agravating. Instead, I'd like the message to say "Your message did NOT get posted to the mailing list. Go to http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug to subscribe, then resend it." And not have it put into any queue.
Also, from time to time it holds messages because of something having to do with "implicit destination". This seems to happen whenever the mailing list is not the only address in the To: field, or is not in the To: filed (Cc or Bcc).
I've read through the general options, http://www.aurora.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-administration-0.2.html, and skimmed http://www.list.org/faq.html, and didn't see any way to do either of these. What would it take to do them ?

I'd like that too. Last week a list admin for one of the lists on our server got so annoyed after he got 80 of these in one day, that he changed the 'admin's email address' from his own address to something like this:
mailinglist-list-admin@foo.com
This caused a nasty mail loop and 300 meg of '554 Too many hops' errors to root before we caught it. Does the new version of mailman check for idiots doing stuff like this?
