*GAAK*. No. I get *enough* total cow-manure bounces from broken mailers
that bounce back to the RFC822 From: address instead of the RFC821 return-path.
Person posts to sas-l, listserv sends it out with a return-path of
[log in to unmask] Site bounces it, it goes back to owner-sas-l,
which gets directed to Listserv. Listserv fails to parse the bounce
message, and hands it off to the actual list owner (me).
Working as designed, more or less. I probably got unclear when I
mentioned it going to me as postmaster - it's actually 'going to me as
list owner', courtesy of local policy that leaves the postmaster (me)
the owner for a lot of lists that would otherwise be ownerless..
