Hi.
I'm puzzled by the bounce from "my" list (see below). In particular,
it says:
: for the following reason: "Sender:", "From:" or "Reply-To:" field pointing to
: the list has been found in mail body.
and the only field that could be construed as 'pointing to the list'
is "To:" which was quoted. Is it the error text which is wrong, or
is the logic which caused it to bounce in error?
(I believe this is version 1.8b.)
A second question would be "why is this going to the list owner
instead of the sender?" It is the sender who has control of the
content, and this bounce requires the list owner to write back to
the sender and explain things, or else, puzzled by the non-appearance
of his message, the sender will just keep doing it. "My" list
is only 70-75 people, but this could be a major headache for large
lists, I would think.
Third: I don't see what the problem is with included headers pointing
back to the list might be; it's *just slightly* problematic if at the
beginning of a line. If the concern is something autoreplying and
quoting everything *including* headers, then why is the ">" quote
OK but not the "> " quote?
Yes, I've read 9605-UD-02; it says "what" (i.e., this will happen,
unless the quoted headers are quoted by ">" instead of "> ") but
it doesn't say *why* and the logic completely escapes me.
The text in 9605-UD-02 (11.2 at the end) which says "The ultimate
solution to the problem is to warn subscribers..." seems to me to
be a copout for not making LISTSERV a bit more intelligent.
OK, your turn... convince me I'm wrong.
Cheers,
