Russ: This is one is very simple i.e., I think that you thought this one was complicated. Basically the receiver's MUA sent the OOO to the correct address -- the RFC821 MAIL FROM field (and for standard LISTSERV processing, "maps" to the list's ERRORS-TO= field, that tends to be the list-owner) which IS the standard "bounce" address. Of course whether it should have replied at all is another issue. /Pete At 08:44 04/28/2002 Sunday, Russ Hunt wrote: >I'm still wondering where and how messages like this one are generated.
