I have a boilerplate message That I send back too.
This is it:
 
*** Your message was not distributed to the list ***
 
You must resend your message.  It is attached below.
 
Please, when you reply to a message from a LISTSERV list, be sure to
delete the headers of the original message from your reply.  If
LISTSERV sees something resembling a To or Sender header mentioning the
name of the list in the BODY of a message, it assumes that the message
may be a bounce message and sends it to the list owner and NOT to the
list.
 
By the way, on the Internet and BITNET it is customary to delete the
headers in a reply to a list, regardless of what software is used for
the list.
