reduces the amount of spam (and replies to spam) in the system. The
instructions on joining the list aren't a huge secret, there's a web
link in the signature of every single list mail.
Not bouncing leads to problems where someone thinks they're subscribed
but aren't (which is relatively easy to do, even if you're familiar
with mailing lists...) - they'll send mails which won't get through,
but they won't realise this and will just be under the impression
we're not responding.
