I'll try a guess.
CTRIUMPH *MAY* be a semi-private list just set up by a couple
of guys. I have a local list on my server just for a few friends
and our british cars.
Hypothetically, if I were to post to this mailing list and
cc my list-of-friends, then you were to reply to all, you
would be sending a letter to my local british car list.
...when my listserver saw that, it would bounce your message
because you were not a member. As well, if that was processed
to me as a subscribe attempt, I wouldn't accept the subscribe
attempt. (although I personally would email you and say why
you probably didn't want to be on the list anyways...)
Just a guess.
