Yes, but it should also set the Errors-To: header to whoever is in charge of the
mailing-list, which it doesn't.  Therefore, we keep receiving bounced emails,
which we shouldn't.

One of those bogus email addressed (jsoenen something) has been bouncing emails
since forever, and he is still on the list.

Whoever is in charge of the mailing-list is

a) probably not even subscribed to it
b) doing a terrible job at maintaining it

Oh and while we're at it, the "Reply-to: list" feature has been banned from pretty
much all the mailing-lists on this planet
(http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html).  Except on ejb-interest.

They should not use vacation programs at all, if you ask me.
