On this subject, what is the *correct* way for an MTA to treat an
Errors-To: RFC822 header that is different from the MAIL FROM: in the
envelope?

In this case a subscriber's mailer adds an Errors-To: pointing back to
themselves, and they post, and a remote MTA which is generating a bounce
message honours the Errors-To: in the post (pointing to subscriber) instead
of the MAIL FROM: (pointing to the listserv bounce processer). Should I
tell the remote site to stop honouring the headers, or should I tell the
client to stop generating them?

Regards,
Dave
