I hate to sound mean, but they're right, the LISTSERV filter assumes that
the list  owner knows  the difference between  LISTSERV address  and list
address, and  makes no  attempt at  filtering privileged  commands. Every
time you  add a clause  to the  filter, you catch  potentially legitimate
messages, so  you don't really  want to add a  dozen clause just  for the
convenience of  list owners who  still don't  know where commands  go and
where postings go.
