Of course it receives alot ... as an example ...

pgsql-announce has 31388 subscribers to it ... when David sends out the weekly 
news, how many of those 31388 are "over quota", or "out of office", or "user 
unknown", or "connection timed out", or ... :)

All those bounces come back to the main server, and, in alot of cases, get 
processed by majordomo's "bounce detection" algorithms ...

And then there are the 177 314 "Recipient address rejected" email attempts 
*into* the server so far today, for ppl like "EarlineloamyDarby(at)postgresql(dot)org" 
that come flooding in ...

It all adds up ...
