[BALUG-Admin] (forw) Bounce action notification

It took me a moment to figure this out, because I was in a security talk
at SCaLE 19x and was distracted.

Hoover Chan did something that many people think is a good idea, but is
not:  Hoover subscribed "hchan@mail.ewind.com" but set that mailbox to
forward to his GMail mailbox, hoover.chan@gmail.com .  

Hoover, sorry, in 2022 you can no longer do mail forwarding with wild
abandon, because of increasing deployment of anti-forgery blocking
technologies (SPF and DMARC).

In this case, my posting to balug-admin was processed by list.balug.org
and re-mailed to all subscribers including your hchan@mail.ewind.com .
Host nephoscale.ewind.com (IP 198.89.112.140) tried re-lobbing your
subscriber copy to GMail, which rejected it because IP 198.89.112.140 
is not a permitted originator for mail from domain balug.org, i.e., 
that IP as an SMTP source violates balug.org's SPF and DMARC
declarations.

I am deleting your subscriptions of hchan@mail.ewind.com from
balug-admin and from any other BALUG mailing list it might be on.
(I haven't yet checked the other three.)  I will also have Mailman
send an "invitation" to quick-subscribe Hoover Chan <hoover.chan@gmail.com> ,
if you so wish.

Please review your subscriptions to any _other_ mailing lists, and stop
relying on hchan@mail.ewind.com -> hoover.chan@gmail.com forwarding.
You really cannot rely on that, any more.  TY.
