What I said was that reception of NDRmessages is only a requirement for the
SMTP From address, so they are only required for the RFC5322.From address
when the two From addresses match.   For msiling list messages, tbe two do
not match.

My topic was about the ability or inability to detect a never-valid RFC5322
>From address.   I am not engaged in any effort to change mailing lists.
 NP=reject MUST never reject mailing list traffic.  If we cannot do that,
NP is useless.

But we can meet that requirement, if we construct the right test.   I can
support several different variations of the test, which differences in
strictness and complexity.   I just cannot support the MX-A-AAAA test.
