This option really doesn't help me anyway, the email is not being sent
out. The log files only show the local domain messages being sent,
but nothing is there in regards to the off-site messages. It's not
until I set the list to subscriber only that I start seeing the
messages in the logs.
And if sending a bounce message without the sender field is compliant
to RFC, then the RFC needs to be changed. Why would I want to accept
any message without the sender field? No need to respond to that, I
don't really feel like starting a big debate on this.
