I choose to dump the bounce notices and the whitelist service notices
directly to dev/null. Never see them, and I don't care. In fact, there
are couple of people on a couple of mailing lists I'm subbed to that
never appear in my incoming mail.
I also don't worry about who may or may not have me killfiled on
usenet, for instance, nor do I worry that someone in my killfile may
actually post something useful from time to time.
If the recipient of a post of mine to any list or forum is not willing
(or perhaps able, but that's not my problem either) to open up their
incoming mail to read what may be of value to them, it doesn't concern
me.
There are many, many sources of information available today on many,
many topics. A single user, or indeed list or newsgroup, is simply not
essential. The odds that an individual behind an over-enthusiastic mail
scanning server or firewall may be the sole source of a solution to a
problem I may have at some point in the future is so small that it
approaches zero.
