[Off-Topic] mailing list maintenance

Looks like the mailing list software kicked me off the list
due to generating bounced mails - although it looks like the
problem was that when I sent a mail, the mail bounced as a
result of the list attempting to forward it on to members,
rather than it bouncing from my address :(

Anyone really know how this works so I can avoid it in
the future?

Your mail address ohurley@iona.com has been removed
from the xml-dist-app@w3.org mailinglist.
It generated an excessive amount of bounced mails.

Before sending in a subscription request to
xml-dist-app-request@w3.org again, please ensure that
this problem has been resolved.	 When in doubt, ask your system
administrator or send mail to "postmaster".

The last one of those bounced mails has been quoted below:
