Is that correct? The note is sent to all owners, unless there is a "quiet:" keyword in the list of owners. In that case, the addresses following the keyword won't get the message. >If a list owner, who is the second owner on the owner list, sends out a >note to the list, is the from field suppose to change to owner-list-l? No. The owner-xxx mailboxes are for internal use among the mailers - it's the place where delivery errors should be sent. It is never used as the origin of a message. Note that some mail systems are not as sophisticated as RFC822. While RFC821/2 has many "origin" fields with different meanings, the system they gateway to only supports one. So they have to pick one of the fields, and no matter which one they choose, they are doing something wrong. Such gateways may make the messages look like they came from "owner-xxx". Eric
