The Majordomo message tells you that gary719_list1@verizon.net is
subscribed to debian-user. You now know for certain that you will be
sent list mails. It would be quite remarkable if, out of all the
subscribers, gary719_list1@verizon.net was not kept in the loop. It is
an incentive to look at the way your received mail is handled. Which you
have.

I have a feeling you are misunderstanding how your mail provider's
system works and the role Icedove plays in it.

I don't know where you (or anyone else) gets the idea there is a 10K
maximum size limit on attachments in mails sent to -user.

You definitely do not want rejected messages with 100M attachments
returned to gary719_list1@verizon.net. How do you feel about getting one
every ten seconds.

Not receiving an explanation about a mail which does not make it to the
list is probably a limitation in the list software, Smartlist. However,
your assumption that rejects are just thrown into the bit bucket is
unsubstantiated. They could just as well be forwarded to Listmaster for
consideration. Being a busy person, he hardly gets any time to look at
them. Then they get thrown into the bit bucket. :)
