You're missing the point.  I'm an Abuse Admin.  This isn't my problem, nor
is it my bidding.  If you run Mailman, this is *YOUR* problem.

I can, and frankly SHOULD HAVE, banned Mailman from the networks I'm
responsible for.  I'm here to try and get a more reasonable resolution.

And when people like you insult and attack me, all you do is contribute to
the ongoing perception that mailman developers don't care about the
backscatter problem, which is why a lot of us abuse admins are preparing
to disallow Mailman on our networks.

Now take your attitude problem and put it somewhere useful.
