As a preliminary disclaimer I'd like to say that 90% of the rejection mail I
got from you was caused by LISTSERV not parsing "From: nianiania at nianiania"
as being = 'nianiania@nianiania', which is now fixed in 1.4c. However, the !"$%
sh*tty "Poor mailer was not able to connect to nice gateway for 3 days, waaaah,
therefore your nice mail is being discarded" is something I can absolutely
*NOT* parse. Every mailer agent in every UN*X system seems to have a different
set of messages. Besides, the gateway sending the rejection mail is NOT defined
in DOMAIN NAMES, and therefore does not get detected as it would have been if
the origin had been SMTPUSER@WISCVM or suchlike.
What could I do? I'm just out of ideas. I could (optionally) put a "Message-
id: nianiania%listname@servernode" in the mail header, and scream if I find a
"Message-id: something%listname@mynode" in the mail BODY, but would that stop
all problems?
Eric
