Sorry, but this is not a bug (it is at most a feature). If we were to change this it would go against years of previous usage not only by LISTSERV but by just about every other serious list management application on the Internet. The convention has been for years that to contact the list owner you write to listname-request. All LISTSERV administrative mail that expects a reply to the list owners is set up so that replies should point back to these addresses. It is unfortunate that some badly-implemented mail packages pick up the RFC821 MAIL FROM: address as the originator of the mail for reply purposes (as opposed to bounce purposes, which is what that field is supposed to be used for), but some people write mail programs without regard for standards. We adhere to standards and listname-request is (if not a standard per se) at least the customary address to which people should write if they want to get hold of the list owners. If I'm not mistaken (and I may be) the -request convention actually predates LISTSERV. In any case the first reference to it in LISTSERV history seems to be in the release notes for version 1.7d, and I'm sure it originated before that. Nathan
