Aha! I've got an address bouncing with 450 because the domain name no
longer exists for one of my addresses. I need to wait a while before I
can send another test, though.  :(   (This is a maintenence/etc announce 
list for an ISP.. people get upset if I flood it with 'test' messages).

This is a pretty nasty bug, though.. is it an issue with Sendmail or with
Mailman? Anyone know of a solution besides catching the list looping and
looking through the mail logs?
