What?  I'm sorry, but Mailman has been blamed for backscatter for  
like 3 years going now.  This problem has been well known for long  
before 2.1.10 was even dreamed of.  I am asking that the developers  
start paying attention *NOW*.

If the problems aren't going to be solved before 2.2, then we're  
going to put Mailman in the same bin as qmail and say that using it  
is a violation of the AUP.
