Bounces? I'm subscribed to several mail lists, and this is the
only one "complaining". And as I do not know
what messages bounced, I can not investigate it.
My guess is that those emails were clear and flagrant spam, and
as such were rejected by my ISP.
The mail list should refuse them on entry and not resend them to
the listers.

Carlos,
I will forward your email to the SGI IT group.
Well, I got no further feedback, and the issue continues, a year later.
As I see it, it goes like this:
Spam is sent to the list. The list forwards it to subscribers. Some
mail servers, like my ISP, point blank refuse to accept what is
flagrant spam; not a doubt about it, it doesn't reach the spam folder.
That spam probably breaks a rule such as having no valid sender domain,
breaking SPF, something. I don't know for sure, because I can not see
the logs of my ISP. But the oss.sgi.com admin can, surely.
The problem for me is that this list server automatically unsubscribes
me, and I have to re-subscribe, posibly loosing interveening posts.
I suggest that the list server implements filters to remove those spam
mails on entry, instead of forwarding them. Alternatively, other mail
list servers send a probe email to the subscriber; if the probe
bounces, twice, then the subscription is temporarily disabled. But they
don't unsubscribe people because some "list" posts bounce, unless it is
excesive.
