Errors should bounce back to [log in to unmask] by default,
and be processed by Listserv.  To tune how they are handled, use the
'Auto-delete=' parameter in the list header.  If you need the bounces to
go someplace else (for instance, to a mailbox that will parse the bounces
and remove entries from a database that is used to regenerate the list
membership), use the 'Errors-To=' parameter in the list header.

Setting 'Replies-to=' allows you to tailor where replies to the mail will
go by default.  Note however that this is an *advisory* setting only, and
will *NOT* prevent a determined user from replying/forwarding to some
other address.

Hope this helps...
