Do you mean the "To" or the "From" address? If you mean the "To" address
then all mails to the lists are blocked and are waiting to be reviewed?!?.

Yes but the behaviour here would indicate that the "From" address was also
the mailing list. Or do I get something wrong?

It's not annoying for me, I think you should keep it on. I was just
curious if this is a virus and I still have no ansver :-(. You probably
have reviewed the mail. What was it?
