When I first set up the list, I had it set to do just that, bounce 
the messages which included words that could be majordomo commands to 
me, but changed it soon after.

As to why some people's messages don't get through at times, I have a 
front row seat for that: most times it's because somewhere along a 
line a box goes down so the pipeline is interrupted. For instance, 
tonight something blew up at home.com (something I'm sure would not 
surprise JoMac), so everything going to there bounced back. I assume 
anything coming out of there also went into limbo. That particular 
glitch affected a number of list members, like Len Paris and Ken 
Takeshita.

I have the message limit size set relatively small too, so largish 
messages-- big attachments, for instance-- get bounced as well. This 
is not to say big text messages won't make it through the net; 
they'll more than likely show up. Just don't stick a big binary file 
on the end and expect to see it.

Hope this helps,

Doug
