In order to block the 'delivery failed' reports that get sent to
the list when some Outlook virus fakes a message with as
envelope-sender the address of this list, I added an extra
check to the filter that is run in front of the normal list
software. It drops all mail with an empty envelope-sender
and envelope-senders that match /mailer-daemon@/i. That way
misdirected delivery reports don't spam the list anymore.

However it turned out that the configuration of the exim MTA
was also changed in the mean time so that it didn't add a
Return-Path: header (the envelope-sender information) to
message piped to the list filter. So the filter though the
envelope-sender was empty and dropped all messages to the
list since mondaymorning (UTC).

If you read this, this should now be fixed. My apologies,
I'm doing my best to keep the list as clean as possible,
but I do make mistakes sometimes, alas.

Mike.
