One Received: header == one hop, for purposes of generating this error, as far as I can tell. Maybe you meant something else, and my thick skull just won't absorb it today... :-) >BTW, if you haven't, try SET listname SHORT -- this might >bypass the particular situation with LISTSERV backbone/peered >lists. I tried that just for fun. Is this list (LSTSRV-L) peered BTW? First of all, your suggestion "works" -- Received: headers, before leaving uga.cc.uga.edu, are no longer present. This will do just fine for most users, I imagine. However, Message-Id: is stripped. I don't like that. Besides, both Message-Id: and Received: headers have their uses (tracing spam, identifying trouble spots, etc.), and I really would prefer to have them. (I haven't looked in great detail to see what else might be different.) I think the "solution" may be to get the sendmail default raised from 17, a number which once probably made sense but now probably does not -- but unfortunately this is probably a slow process. <sigh> I'm tired tonight...uninspired...maybe another time.
