Well the -REQUEST address is the "official" method of contacting
non-quiet list-owner(s).  Also mailing that generic address generates an
auto-ack to the supposed sender, which can be problematic when KLEZ virus
spoofing is involved (which seems to be the most frequent abuse that I see).

Thus, I've updated my listname.MAILTPL template REQACK1 to suppress auto-acks

using the

.QQ

formatting command.
