I disagree.  DSN's report the final recipient, not necessarily the
address that is in your mailing list.

I added some DSN processing to my bounce processor the other day.
Today I'm scanning the logs from it and I see that there are a fair
number of "Action: failed" but "Status: 2.0.0" coming from
netscape.net (and even one from aol.com).

Who in their right mind would generate such a contradictory DSN?  Or
am I misreading the codes and their meanings?

I think it is more programmer laziness/incompetence than spite that
they don't comply with the DSN RFCs (or *any* random RFC).
