We're testing the Bounce handler in mailman. Apparantly you can DoS[1] a
mailman instance by signing a thousand people up to a list (which we did
by mistake) then having those thousand people placed into the bounce
queue. 

  That reminds me, we need to tell gmane to re-subscribe.

[1] You could do this maliciously if you wanted to. 

<blink>  Really?  I may?  Wouldn't it be rather inconvenient for you guys?
;-)

    cheers,
