I hate to sound pessimistic but... The VAX/VMS MAILER always sends rejection
mail to the FROM field. This is a real pain as you get a bunch of those
whenever you mail to LINKFAIL, and the list owners are not notified and cannot
remove the faulting addresses (not that it changes anything - I never could
understand whether those "Error opening file, invalid device name -IDEV
OPENOUT%blabla" meant "no such local user" or "coke poured in the CPU").
Anyway this situation exists since years with those VAX mailers. Considering
the number of sites that use it (almost 100% of VAX/VMS sites), a fix would be
most welcome. And still nothing has been done. Now if you expect the same
mailer maintainers to implement something as complex (relatively speaking) as
an Errors-To feature, which is furthermore NOT part of any official standard,
then I think you are being definitely unrealistic :-)
