Especially annoying? You'll get a bounce warning. That's all. You
don't have to do anything about it; just wait for the moderator to
approve it. In fact, when I (as the sender) get those, I just delete
them.
(I admit that it is not as nice as on Usenet, which doesn't have the
whole "subscriber" concept so this is all moot.)
