How?  The "Newsgroups:"  tag  doesn't  mean anything.  In  fact, you  can
program LISTSERV to create one (for  some gateways that needed it - don't
ask me, I just did what people said they needed).

The systems that bounce back to  the poster are non-compliant. They don't
run RFC822  software but some sort  of hack which unfortunately  does not
require you to waste a whole hour installing appropriate software. Anyway
there is nothing LISTSERV can do about it.
