A suggestion: Couldn't you redirect mails from postmaster@whatever and
maybe similar addresses like webmaster@whatever, since I am sure it is
very rare that mail from these addresses have relevance to this list?
Certainly postmaster@xxxxxxx could be put on a side-track, right?

I am not really into procmail but I've heard a lot about it's incredible
flexibility so I doubt it would pose a problem there, except if there is
a legitimate concern about derailing messages from such addresses?

How about throwing them in an 'Error' folder and skim them (titlewise
anyway) before deleting or forwaring them?

Ok, now you can all tell me what a stupid idea this is and why ;)
