| :(((((" :-) ). However, it just occured  to me that the username the mail
| software is  using as origin for  its complaints is not  really relevant,
| what you  really want  to know  is what site  this is  coming from.  So I
| suggest one of the following instead:
|
|       Subject:  LSTOWN-L: delivery error from ucbeh.san.uc.edu
|                 LSTOWN-L: error report from ucbeh.san.uc.edu
|                 Delivery error from ucbeh.san.uc.edu on list LSTOWN-L
|                 Delivery error for LSTOWN-L from ucbeh.san.uc.edu
|                 ----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
|                          10        20        30        40
|
| Or something similar. The key points  are that both list name and failing
| hostname should be  included, and the message should  be reasonably clear
| for a  novice list  owner. I  will implement #2  unless there  are strong
| objections.

     As the listowner of 30 lists who goes through literally hundreds of
error notices each week, I would find #2 *extremely* helpful.  Thanks much,
Eric (and Dan and Joan)!
