For those curious about what happened, I first tried changing the rc.request to send messages to the list if they went unprocessed. But this seemed to cause some sort of nasty loop for many of them. So I ended up changing it instead to send those messages directly to the list approval address, which seems to be working. So I think things are resolved, although it still seems like an overly hacky solution to me.
