It would seem to me that this problem could be solved as follows:

Have one internet host be a central mailing-list wide distribution
center. All internet wide mailing-lists will have an address at that
cite. (This also solves another common problem of not know where
Info-So-and-so is located) The mail forwarding software at that cite
can then be hacked to send all failed messages to
info-so-and-so-request. If the load this would put on a particular
host is too large, the central cite could forward the messages to
other machines for redistribution.

In addition, this central cite could have some kind of on-line package
(like the NIC query system) to allow users to add and delete there
names from any of this lists.  This could all be done automatically,
taking some of the load off the mailing list maintainer.
