Full-Auto only applies to messages that LISTSERV can parse. When LISTSERV
can't  parse the  bounce,  it  passes it  on  to  "Errors-To=" for  human
processing.
 
"Errors-To=  None" is  internally translated  to "Errors-To=  Owners". In
general, LISTSERV doesn't  let list owners turn off  the bounces, because
many list owners want to do exactly that and couldn't care less about the
consequences  on the  host systems.  This change  was introduced  after a
complaint  from a  large site  whose maintainer  discovered that  several
lists had been  running this way for  years, and that they had  no way to
prevent this  from happening again. They  found out when the  machine was
spending most of  its time processing incoming bounces  and they wondered
how come there were that many :-) "Errors-To= Owner" should definitely go
only to the first listed owner, if this doesn't work I'll fix it.
