Upon looking at it further yesterday, I think that the transport and
regexp for owners is unnecessary. Normally, a 'list-owner' alias points
to /home/sympa/bin/bouncequeue with 'list@robot' as the argument, not
'list-owner'. Unless there is something else going on under the hood,
wouldn't the owner transport as described in the automatic list setup
not work?
