A number of ISPs have this problem, of sending bounces back to the
originator of the post instead of the listowner.  Compuserve is just the
biggest one of them.  I don't know if C$ cares or not, but it hasn't
changed in a long time, and I'm sure others have raised hell with them.
Can't hurt if you've got the time.

Biggest problem with it that I see is that some users repost their message
because they think the C$ bounce means that NO ONE on list got it.  And if
they wait a day on a busy list before reposting, it'll go thru again.
