VMSmail is not a RFC822 interface, unfortunately. The system manager must
decide what should work at the expense of what. One of the options is to
make delivery errors work at the expense of replies. Most people make
replies work at the expense of the other options. Some lists don't run in
"safe" mode, usually because they run at sites with an obsolete version
of XMAILER, and have no option but to set the delivery error return
address to the list name.
