This depends on the configuration of the mailer at the LISTSERV host-site (JHUVM) and the configuration at the receiving site. For example, the administrators of the 'IASTATE.EDU' domain have defined a "gateway" between BITNET and their local-area network. If you enter the VM/CMS command: tell mailer at jhuvm show route iastate.edu you'll get the information: From JHUVM(MAILER): * IASTATE.EDU is routed as follows: From JHUVM(MAILER): * ISUMVS MAILER BSMTP i.e., all E-mail for any user in the 'IASTATE.EDU' is to be sent, over BITNET, to the ID [log in to unmask] Their mailer will rewrite the 'SENDER:' line to read [log in to unmask], to provide a valid "reverse" path, should the user wish to reply to the incoming E-mail. Since the administrators have defined this gateway, they *WANT* you to be at their mercy.
