Well done for being so quick. In the past, I have approved a number of
message from Leon, who has then re-posted them after I already approved
the originals ;-)

That sounds weird...why are bounces going to your list's address?
Shouldn't they go to listname-bounces at blah / listname-admin at blah?

As you suggest, you can disable that feature if necessary (i.e. only
send the notices to the list admin, not the external sender). I think
the option is respond_to_post_requests in the General section.
