The MTA which sends the bounce needs to send it to the listname-bounces address which is the envelope sender address and also in Sender: and Errors-To: headers in the outgoing message. A "broken" MTA will sometimes send to the From: or Reply-To: instead. Normally this will go to the poster, but in the case of a digest (or if Reply-To: has been munged), this will go to the list. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
