Mail bounce loop, I'm drowning in it.

As David noted, the best place to send administrative requests is to
the list owner(s).  The address to use is fedora-owner at redhat.com.
While most of the volunteer list admins are regular readers (and
posters) to this list, we defintely don't see every thread.

I've disabled mail for the offending address and sent a note to the
postmaster of versanet.de to let them know that the software they are
using to send rejection notices should respect the Return-Path header.
If it had done so, the list software would have received the bounces
and disabled the account automagically, without anyone's mailboxes
being cluttered.

We now return to our regular programming, already in progress... :)
