Edy may not have intended this as KLBC, but I feel like going over it
anyway...

This doesn't quite work. The part of the sentence that does work is <
(something) lujatlh nuvpu' ...>. For the first part, I will guess that
you are trying to say "on this list ...", so we will add a <-Daq> to the
<tetlhvam>. The <Hol tlhIngan> should of course be <tlhIngan Hol>. I
will also substitute <jabbI'IDghom> for <tetlh> to mean mailing list -
both are just guesses, but <jabbI'IDghom> has been used more widely
here. Finally, the <'e' DaSov'a'> on the end sounds like an attempt at a
rhetorical question - "Don't you know that ...". Klingon just doesn't
work this way, and it's not really necessary anyway. Here's my
suggestion for the above sentence:
jabbI'IDghomvamDaq tlhIngan Hol lujatlh nuvpu'.
