And a couple of minutes after I send this, shows up in my mailbox:

As a reply to:
----
Return-path: <list-admin@???>
From: mailman-owner@???
To: user
Subject: Test subscription notification
Precedence: bulk
----

----
From: Greg Humphreys <humper@???>
To: mailman-owner@???
Subject: Away from my mail...
Precedence: bulk
X-Humper-Vacation: In full effect

I will be away from my e-mail until February 28th. I will respond to your

        message, "Chromium-users subscription notification"


when I get back.

This message was generated automatically by my own vacation program,
because I stubbornly insist on writing my own tools for everything.

What I can say?
1) He ignored Precedence: bulk
2) Had he responded to Return-path:, I wouldn't have cared, mailman would
have taken care of his bounce.
3) He thinks he knows better, so he writes his own tools.

Sigh...
