Very clever, Eric. I take it you did not consider this a seriously
intended question. I assure it was. Ok, so I forgot to put in the "-To",
it was late and I was half asleep. The question still stands, what *is*
the default? Do the errors go to the address in the From: line, or what?
I asked the question because for some of our commands with listserv we
don't have to spell out the whole word, just a portion of it or even
sometimes the first letter will do. I was wondering if the same were true
for the headers.
This list, by the way, is 1.7f, and it is not my list. It is a list where
the owner has gone missing. I volunteered to temporarily take over the
list if the subscribers can get the postmaster to add me as owner. I've
been studying the list's header as the list doesn't seem to work very
well. Here is the header, as it is set up.
* Review= Public Subscription= Open Send= Public
* Notify= Yes Reply-to= List Files= Yes
* Validate= Store only
* Confidential= No Notebook= Yes,A,Monthly,Public
* X-Tags= Comment Stats= Normal,Private Erros-to= Owner
*
Again, comments are welcome, but please, no more snide ones about Eros
(see, I do know how to spell it, Eric).
