Bounced mail from web servers is going to keep coming to www. Isn't it
really time to rename this list? I suggest renaming it www-XXXX, where
XXXX is mit, athena or sipb depending on the scope of discussion. Posts
with a wider scope should go to an outside list or one of the usenet
groups.
If an appropriate name can't be agreed upon, I suggest renaming it
www-foo.
