I really don't see how we can leave this to the subscribers
themselves: they just silently stop getting any messages from the
list, and it's anybody's guess when will they notice.  IMO, it would
be prudent if people who oversee GNU lists and configure mailman could
do something to prevent this automatic blocking, because it makes no
sense to me: why do we care so much about a bounced message?  But if
this wouldn't happen, I can't see how could I NOT unblock subscribers
who fell victim to this atrocity.  It sounds the same part of my
duties as reviewing messages held for moderation.
