"Administrative trivia". That message usually happens if the list server 
thinks you are sending it commands about your account and you have used 
the wrong, non-administrative email address. Mailman (the list software) 
accepts account changes and inquiries via its admin-specific address. It 
reads the first word of the message body to see what you want it to do.

If the first word of your message happens to be one of those commands, 
the server may assume you are trying to change your account settings and 
accidentally used the public email address. It rejects the message.

Try changing the wording of your first sentence.
