If you are familiar with the Internet RFCs for mail this is the address that goes into the RFC821 MAIL FROM: field. This is done <specifically> to keep bouncing mail from going back to the list, but of course whether this works or not is completely dependent on whether or not the remote mail server is compliant with the standard. cc:Mail usually isn't, thus my surprise noted above :) > As list owner, can I shut off these messages to me because I don't > want to see all the auto-reply messages either? If you turn on the Auto-Delete function and set it to Full-Auto, you might not see these anymore, assuming that they do actually get sent to the owner- mailbox. Otherwise, no, they're assumed to be delivery errors and are treated as such. You could probably filter them out if you have a filter mechanism on your mail client based on some rule (like dump anything that has a header that includes the words "Auto-Reply:" or something like that).
