Your ARSCLIST posts are NOT being rejected...!! This is a "bug" in the
list...which sends out a totally phony "Your message was rejected" message
as a reply to EVERY ARSCLIST post!

I wot not if this isn't being fixed due to lack of ambition...or due to the
ignorance of the list's "staff geeks"...?! In any case, the supposedly-
rejected messages ALWAYS show up on the list...?!

So when y'all gonna FIX this...?!
