Actually, it's about two messages per each message to the list. It was
more until the cleanup I did yesterday (unsubscribed many broken
addresses). It can be reduced to zero by unsubscribing the other
offending addresses, but both are errors that I suspect might be fixed
soon so I'll leave them for a few more days.
(Listar doesn't handle bouncing by itself, it's not an MTA -- it
passes the messages to send to exim, with Sender: linux-il-bounce, and
whatever it gets on the linux-il-bounce address, it forwards to the
admin.)
Generally, my policy is that if the error is fixable, I leave it for a
few days, and if it's not fixed anyway, I unsubscribe the person, so
when he fixes it he can subscribe back again.

I think listname-owner also works. In any case, I get the messages
intended for moderation, and try to approve them as fast as possible.
(FWIW: I got admin access to this list from Ely very recently after he
said that he's not interested in it. So you can contact me if you have
problems or want changes. But the standard linux-il-* addresses should
work anyway (and get to me) so I didn't bother announcing it.)
