Having figured out this was an attack on a "request" Mailman
auto-responder, I've temporarily redirected all the request
auto-responders to /dev/null. Does anybody actually use those things
anymore? Probably, I've violated an RFC. Well, until I understand more
about this stuff, it won't be the last time.

All the mailing lists were already set to discard e-mail from
non-subscribers.

Mailman has several auto-responders, and can't function without some of
them. All are vulnerable to joe-job attacks. Hence, we have to filter
junk before it gets to Mailman.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
