The problem is with people who _have_ @googlemail accounts but sign up
with @gmail on the sign up page.

They get the confirmation and all works until they try and _send_ a
mail to the list. It appears (to mailman) as if the mail is coming
from @googlemail.com when the user subscribed as @gmail.com, thus
mailman bounces the mail and notifies the admin.

Cheers,
Al.
