Some incorrectly generated bounces go to the originator of the e-mail instead of to the RFC821 field (OWNER-listname@listhost) which cause subscribers to complain to the owner (this is not good). Bouncing e-mail sometimes starts e-mail loops when they are generated back to the list. Bouncing e-mail also uses up network bandwidth for all users at the LISTSERV domain. This could be over a wide-area (slow) link. The list that generates e-mail to a bouncing user is wasting its time in the distribution process. Eventually somebody is going to have to deal with the bounce. If not now, when? Think of un-cared-for bounces as meta-SPAM. With the rights of list-ownership come the (delegated) responsibilities thereof. /Pete Weiss at Penn State
