Subject: How to bounce rejected posts back to sender?

I have several lists set up with the restrict-post option pointing to 
the list of subscribers of the list, so that only people who are 
subscribed can post.  That seems to work great, except sometimes 
people with two email addresses get confused and try to post from a 
different address than they subscribed from. Then I as the list-owner 
get a "BOUNCE Non-member submission from" message back, and unless 
I'm nice and tell them what happened, they wonder what happened to 
their message.

I don't like to have to be that nice, and would like to find a way 
that if they send from an address they are not subscribed from THEY 
as well as I get the message that their message has been rejected and 
will not be sent.  Many of them will still be confused and will write 
me, but this way they will only initiate the conversation if they 
don't understand rather than I feeling the need to send them a 
message every time their posts are rejected.

Any suggestions on how to make that BOUNCE notification go back to 
the sender of the message too?


Thanks.
