Today we had a mailstorm on the PCSUPT-L@YALEVM list when all mailings to
[log in to unmask] were rejected and then recurrently redistributed!
 
Apparently [log in to unmask] creates an invalid From: line when
rejecting mail:   (use "<-->" instead of <-->)
     FROM: Pasarela EAN <--> PMDF <[log in to unmask]>
 
but I don't see why LISTSERV@YALEVM redistributed the
rejected mail to the list instead of redirecting it
to a postmaster.  What else is wrong?
 
Thanks for your help.
Jim Owen (for Postmaster@YaleVM)
