2 delivery failures for mail sent to the list

[Tom Anderson]

I too only get this behavior on this list.  I concur that it is 
incorrect.  Only the list server ought to receive undeliverable messages 
in order to remove those addresses from the list.  List members do not 
care who else is subscribed or not.  This should be remedied.
