This is a relatively small change... I'm proposing overloading the bounce
method on Mail to provide an address as well as a message.  Right now the
bounced message is "from" the first recipient in the first.  It is useful to
specify a different address to avoid race conditions, for instance, two mail
servers bouncing messages back and forth... it's useful to have a nobounce
email address that goes to the Null mailet.

Second, does anybody know what happened to the PicoListserv class?  I know I
was working on it at one point, but now it's really really messed up.  It
calls the transport class for remote delivery directly!  This should not be
possible (for starters), and I'm not sure why it was written this way.  In
any case, I'm making an AbstractListserv and taking the bulk of the existing
PicoListserv and making that the AvalonListserv, since that's configured by
Avalon-esque parameters.  The AbstractListserv will allow you to extend and
create your own (such as to pull a list of users from a database) while
still keep the basic functionality.  I also will implement that
functionality, which again, I have no idea what happened to it (at least the
reply to and members only was working I believe).

Once I get that and an alias mailet setup, I'll be replacing our incoming
mail server with JAMES.  Hope to have [no] bug reports later this week.
