Some of our network and systems folks here are working on fixing
the mailer that serves our masses.  I have been asked what the
most appropriate way would be for them to deal with bounced mail
when the sender was a Listserv list.  They are concerned with just
sending the message back to Listserv for fear that some
Listserv's may actually post the bounced message to the list.
Their main question is:  If we receive a message from a list that
we are not able to deliver, to whom/what should we send the bounced
message to (and, if there is a hierarchy of who bounced mail should be
sent to, what is the ordering)?
 
 
I've re-read some of the release notes with Listserv 1.7b, and
was wondering if it would be appropriate for us to route bounced
mail back to list with the inclusion of the X-LSV-ListID field
in the header followed by the name of the list.  But I'm not
clear on exactly how Listserv will handle this.  Will Listserv
realize that this is a bounced message and then route it to the
owner of the list?
 
Any help or comments appreciated.
