Well, if the list was properly moderated, you could simply wait for the
moderators to allow it. A *smart* moderator would just add the address
to the whitelist the first time it occurred. So you'd only have to do
deal with this once, ever. (But you'd have to wait for it.)
When my message bounces, I often just give up. This does mean that some
lists miss out on key comments I make to their ARC cases. But I guess
this was an active choice that the list owners made, so they get (or
rather don't get) what they deserve.
