	I've gotta' say, this does piss me off.  

	It wouldn't be so bad, but mailman is always choking on
the Sender: header, and some of my users are sending from DHCP clients
that change DAILY.  I have to constantly bring up lynx and approve all
the messages.  I wouldn't complain so much if it were just my
administrative filters that were causing this, but it's an overzealous
mailman saying "You're not a member of this list!"

	Agreed.  There are users of my lists that can now do things
that I never would have been able to configure with a certain non-free
Perl-based castellan-type program.
