I have little or no preternatural ability to divine which header

cheers

I figure the Mailman developers chose not to include further information so
as to avoid giving evildoers an immediate hint towards an easy workaround to
suit their evil purposes. :-)
Mailman, lacking some aspects of higher intelligence, is sadly unable to
determine whether you are in fact an evildoer or an innocent bystander. I
would vouch for bystander, but Mailman didn't think ("think") to ask me for
a personal reference.

Security through obscurity, eh? :p

Being that it's not a security issue, no.

fwiw, I was the original evildoer, as my original post got the 'soft bounce'
in the past, I got these a few times, this one was the first one in a long
time (might be related to how often I post?)
