End Reply Well the -REQUEST address is the "official" method of contacting non-quiet list-owner(s). Also mailing that generic address generates an auto-ack to the supposed sender, which can be problematic when KLEZ virus spoofing is involved (which seems to be the most frequent abuse that I see). Thus, I've updated my listname.MAILTPL template REQACK1 to suppress auto-acks using the .QQ formatting command.
