Yep, It'd be a big problem. For the rest of us.

see, we've been suffering some real idi0tz here at times, You know the
kind that set an auto-responder to respond that "I'm away from the
office" at every email they recieve?  or the kind that bounce the
message + notification at each message it recieves because their INBOX
is full?

i'm sure you can imagine what this looks like after four hours, when the
headers are mangled as you suggest? Yep. each bounce goes to the list
(automagically) and then generates yet another bounce. increment this
feedback loop with each message from people going on with life,
complaining about the crap-flood and you have a very pretty sight.

soon the next person got a full mailbox too.   okay, now there's two
spambouncers feeding eachother.  


So, Yes. It would be a problem.  :-)

Better make your software WhiteList on "List-Id"  or "Delivered To" 
flags.
