I just stepped over the line again with a message too long
for the lklm. Am I the only one who would like a message
back when lklm drops a message? The mail system seems to
say:
relay=vger.kernel.org. [209.116.70.75],
stat=Sent (2.7.0 nothing apparently wrong in the message.;
S264820AbSJaKoJ)

and then drop the message. Maybe, at least this response
could be changed.

Your message makes it to majordomo's resend code and gets bounced to
owner, which is probably not much different from /dev/null. It'd be
possible to add bounce notifications, but it'd be a big ugly hack on
top of a long-dead codebase, work better invested in switching to a
new list manager.
