What a good idea!
 
I'm one of four list-*tenders* of a Franciscan listserv at American
University, Washington DC.  I'm third in line in length of service to the
list, but prior to my incumbancy very little *technical* stuff was attended
to.  We only have 150 subscribers and quite a manageable volume, so the
bounces don't become a problem.
 
We're very lucky that our Host maintainer has programmed the listserv to
filter possible spams and send them to the listowners for distribution or
trashing according to our decision.
