Maybe I'm getting old or just more rushed by the rest of the world
these days, but without really digging into root cause, I can offer
a suggestion that may help prevent this type of event in the future.

In your wwbnews.config file, try something like this;

>         # message_headers	[string_array] (undef) <resend,digest>
>         # These headers will be appended to the headers of the posted

> message_headers     <<  END
> X-Mailing-List: $LIST
> List-ID: $LIST mailing list <$LIST.lists.example.com>
> List-Help: <mailto:majordomo@example.com?body=help>
> List-Subscribe: <mailto:majordomo@example.com?body=subscribe%20$LIST>

Take or toss any of the above custom header lines, but if you keep at
least the List-ID: or X-Mailing-List: line, you can do this, assuming
the list's name is "test";

>         # taboo_headers 	[regexp_array] (undef) <resend>
>         # If any of the headers matches one of these regexps, then the

> taboo_headers       <<  END
> /^X-Mailing-List: test/i
> /^List-ID:.*test\.lists\.example\.com/i
> END
