Correct.  The queue will be full of junk that'll double-bounce after a 
few days.  I wouldn't set it up to have any sort of auto-response to 
unauthorized messages sent to the list, just diverted to the owner queue 
for action.

Yup.  And I'm volunteering.  Pretty straightforward to sift through a 
mailbox, find legitimate stuff, forward those, then dump the rest.
