This is  not new,  it has  always been  like that.  If the  RFC822 header
contains a syntax error, LISTSERV refuses to process the message if it is
addressed  to itself.  If  the message  is  addressed to  a  list, it  is
accepted with  a warning, on  the assumption  that the human  readers can
figure  it out.  LISTSERV doesn't  want to  take chances  with a  message
processed by a computer  where the error in the header  can mean that the
origin  was  not  determined  correctly. The  solution  is  to  configure
sendmail to produce RFC822-compliant mail headers.
