Well I keep getting more and more subscriptions like that, and without
exception they *all* bounce immediately. I don't know what is wrong
with those people, but it has been weeks now. They keep subscribing,
and even the "welcome to the list" message bounces.
Mail to Remarq gets soundly ignored, so I'm thinking of just blocking
the whole site and being done with it.
