It's one of the joys being subscribed to a list that doesn't have any
management.  The addressee's mailbox is full...so you get a bounce
message...and if you contact his ISP, you get no help, no action.

If the cobalt list is set up so that the list owner gets a copy of the
bounced messages, then  he/she isn't reading them, or reading and ignoring
them.

Of course the list may be set up to that the list owner doesn't get the
messages, thus they don't have to ignore them.

It's just another example of bad management at the head shed.
