This is not new, it has always been like that. If the RFC822 header
contains a syntax error, LISTSERV refuses to process the message if it is
addressed to itself. If the message is addressed to a list, it is
accepted with a warning, on the assumption that the human readers can
figure it out. LISTSERV doesn't want to take chances with a message
processed by a computer where the error in the header can mean that the
origin was not determined correctly. The solution is to configure
sendmail to produce RFC822-compliant mail headers.
