Several users on my list have problems generating, or getting, proper
return paths on their mail that reaches LISTSERV.
 
Things such as:  jon@Sun   (instead of [log in to unmask])
 
or very long UUCP strings  (like:  rutgers!teckunix!blackhole!nowhere!jim)
 
are often in the From: tag, and they can't change this as it's done by
systems along the way.
 
I was wondering about the feasibility of having LISTSERV respond to a
USER DEFINED path in one of two ways in order to solve this problem:
 
1) An OUTPUT-TO: command, followed by the address they wish output to go to.
At the top of a batch of commands, this will send all output from then until
another OUTPUT-TO: command to the address specified.
 
OUTPUT-TO:  [log in to unmask]
SENDME LARGE FILE COCO
 
...
 
2) Having a Reply-To:  header in the mail be recognized by LISTSERV, so that
all responses will be directed to the path specified there.
 
Is there currently a way to do this?  If not, please put these on my "wish
list" for whoever creates the next version of LISTSERV!
