I think I can get it to do that -- well at least for the english version of the refuse message:
PlEASE VERIFY that the address described in the rejection is the same address you attempted to register for the list. Many (many) people subscribe from an address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], but send email from an address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] The sending address must be identical to the subscribed address for the mailing list post to succeed.
