Mailman has options for handling this. Unfortunately, mailing lists are not necessarily applications. Assuming that they are will not lead to enlightenment. While I'm sure we can agree that, in an ideal world, mailing lists should be intelligent software, handling this deftly and accurately, we as mail exchange operators _cannot assume_ that this is the case. In the same ideal world, spam wouldn't happen in the first place. I'm not fond of new and exciting ways to break Internet mail delivery. :( -- Jan -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
