Point the sender to LISTSERV, and mail errors are going to be processed
by LISTSERV as commands, with the result that the original delivery error
is lost, and that you start a "mailing war" with the mailer in question
(probably a gateway) until it gets served off, after 10 attempts. Then
you'll be very happy because any mail coming from this gateway is
discarded unread.
Point the sender to "listname-ERRORS@nodeid", and you'll have a lot of
fun if the list name is 8 characters; otherwise you'll need to create a
VM account by the name of the first 8 characters of "listname-ERRORS",
courtesy of the countless mailers which send mail directly, via NJE, to
the destination. Neither solution is satisfactory, personally I'd rather
opt for the contents of the "Sender=" keyword (if present), or the userid
of the main list owner if there's no "Sender="; that makes sure he
*does* take care to define a "Sender=" :-)
