[Ansteorra] What exactly are "bounces" on the list

[Haraldr Bassi]

Given that Yahoo's email system is so often and apparently easily hacked by third parties, I 
would think they would concentrate their security efforts in preventing people from gaining 
access to other people's accounts long before they worried about spam from legitimate mailing 
lists.

Sheesh...
