Mailman 2.0.x had no automated bounce processing, so the envelope sender was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the list admin would see the bounces and be able to react to them manually. With the advent of automated bounce processing in Mailman 2.1, the envelope sender is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and mail to that address is processed automatically as a bounce. In an attempt to avoid confusion, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address was deprecated in favor of [EMAIL PROTECTED] None of this is directly relevant to MS Outlook's "on behalf of" display which uses the Sender: header, not the envelope sender. Mailman, in an attempt to accommodate non compliant MTAs which might return DSNs (bounces) to other than the envelope sender, puts the bounce processing address in the Sender: and Errors-To: headers of the message. Outlook actually uses the Sender: header and displays From: <sender> on behalf of <from> instead of the From: <from> displayed by most other MUAs. Mailman's insertion of the bounce processing address in the Sender: header is not completely wrong, but it probably isn't the best choice. This will probably change in Mailman 2.2. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
