I've been wondering about this sort of thing: On 10 Apr 2002 at 0:45, Randy Ryan wrote: > Bad autoresponder, think on LSTOWN-L list. I believe there's nothing more listserv can do about this -- but it's my impression that something _has_ been done, in the sense that it's listserv that (most of the time), picks these up and returns them either to the sender only or to the listowner. Otherwise, of course, any two of the bloody things would send the list into a loop. But I'm not sure how that's done. Could someone who understands the way the structure of headers affords this enlighten me? I'd like to be able to offer my subscribers advice beyond "don't use oofbots, or if you do set the list to nomail first." -- Russ __|~_ Russell A.
