You don't need to tell Rootsweb about the mail that bounces to you from
your list (the mail that comes from abuse@ or spams which are caught by
the HTML filter or some other filter. Rootsweb already knows about
those. They are the ones who sent them to you so that you can check to see
whether the identification as spam was a mistake. I only remember twice
that the spam catcher ever caught anything on my many lists which I decided
to send on to the list.

And I'm not quite sure what you accomplish by putting them on an AOL reject
list - or what you mean by that. If you are forwarding to AOL the messages
you get from you may be telling AOL that rootsweb is
spamming you.

The list manager should not be rejecting messages which are sent to the
list manager.
