Don't worry about it; this happens all the time. Various organisations use
various ways if keeping unwanted emails out of the door, with various levels
of success. This one is a particularily blunt version that'll cost them
business in the long run, and it is also very broken in that *you*, got this
message.

Normally, such replies should go to the envelope sender, which is
'zope-admin@zope.org' in this case. Which menas that if that recipient
filter does this kind of bouncing too often, their subscription gets
disabled automatically, or Mailman cannot parse the bounce and I get to
decide wether or not I can tolerate the bounces for any lenght of time. :)
