[ale] ale list server / bounce messages

KSU is implementing the reverse lookup for mail servers which broke my ale 
mail.  KSU turned it off after collecting data and are now contacting 
sysadmins to warn them of the need to allow/provide reverse lookups.  It is a 
measure to help in preventing spam as far as I understand.
