This is not new.  The problem is that many mailing list servers don't add a 
received line showing the user IP address that is sending the mail.  Often 
the mailing list server IP is as far as the mail can be traced, resulting in 
that server getting bl'd.

This list is an exception thought because they do have a received line prior 
to the mailing list server though, so I can keep it from getting bl'd. 
Still should not be reported though as that is the responsibility of the 
list manager.
