Essentially, what I'm asking is that a sender of "uucp" be flagged along
with "mailer" and "mailer-demon", or that reversed form list names be
flagged (eg. cunyvm!pucc.bitnet!COCO, where COCO is the list name and
pucc.bitnet is the node it's running on) as error messages.
 
I can't expect any Unix site of people who want to be on my mailing list
to run a special package, can I?
 
I don't think this is a complex patch, and would enable Listserv to
deal more effectively with the chaos in UUCP.
 
Until then, I'm having to moderate the list...
