Of course not. Redirect isn't specifically for "bouncing" in the sense we're using it here. There is a semantic problem in that "bounce" has been overloaded with two slightly different meanings: a) Return to sender, possibly with an error indication. This is the sense it's being used in this thread, and in fact in most discussions about mailing lists and their managers. b) Pass on to the (presumably) intended recipient, a third party. The intention of (b) is that the third party should receive the original message as if it had been sent directly by the original sender (with extra headers of course) including a From line that shows the original sender. In contrast the From line of a forwarded message shows the forwarder, not the original sender. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
