Eric, my mailing list is being KILLED by damn reject messages that could
EASILY be prevented by ONE SIMPLE CHECK.
 
Over the past month, OVER 40 reject mail messages have been sent out to
EVERYONE on my list (60 people) - always from ONE USERID  ---  UUCP.

uucp@princeton

UUCP is not, never, ever a userid.
 
PLEASE - if you can check for MAILER@...  or MAILER-DAEMON@...  can you
PLEASE PLEASE  add  UUCP@... as a test for invalid mail.
 
ALL of the trouble has come from UUCP@something nodes.  These are STRICTLY
DELIVERY ERROR MESSAGES!!
 
If I SERVE them OFF, I'll never know about the delivery problems.
 
Will you please listen to reason, Eric - if you ever dealt with UUCP you'd
have the same problem.   Userid "UUCP" is a delivery system like MAILER
or MAILER-DAEMON.
 
I'm not going to repost all the messages I've gotten, but suffice it to say
that UUCP is one of them major "contributors" to an already active list.
 
Unless I am to throw off all non-BITNET traffic, I need a patch that
sends all mail from UUCP@...  that goes to the list to the list owner.
 
Can ANYONE help??  To get an idea of my situation, pretend all your
error messages were going out to your list.
