On the BB-LISA (Back Bay Large Installations Systems Administration)
list, we solved (well, maybe "solved" is too strong a word) the problem
by tacking this simple "signature" onto *every* message that goes out to
the list:
Send mail for the `bblisa' mailing list to `bblisa@inset.com'.
Send list subscription requests to `bblisa-request@inset.com'.
It's not perfect, but it helps.
