I'll give it a shot.

Question about the backscatter settings:

# Prevent backscatter for unapproved actions?
$BounceUnapproved = 0;

# Prevent backscatter for undefined lists?
$BounceNonlist = 1;

The comment seems to be logically backwards from the variable name. Should 
it really read "allow", not "prevent"? Does 0 or 1 mean backscatter?
