I don't like this new wording very  much either, since it is confusing to
new  owners ("What's  a LSTOWN-L  reject, oh  sh*t what  did I  do wrong?
:(((((" :-) ). However, it just occured  to me that the username the mail
software is  using as origin for  its complaints is not  really relevant,
what you  really want  to know  is what site  this is  coming from.  So I
suggest one of the following instead:
 
      Subject:  LSTOWN-L: delivery error from ucbeh.san.uc.edu
                LSTOWN-L: error report from ucbeh.san.uc.edu
                Delivery error from ucbeh.san.uc.edu on list LSTOWN-L
                Delivery error for LSTOWN-L from ucbeh.san.uc.edu
                ----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
                        10        20        30        40
 
Or something similar. The key points  are that both list name and failing
hostname should be  included, and the message should  be reasonably clear
for a  novice list  owner. I  will implement #2  unless there  are strong
objections.
