This is not a qmail question per se, but a general "internet mail"
question which came up because my qmail system got in a mail loop with
someone else's SLMail system. I'm asking here because this falls into the
domain of expertise that most people on this list excel at ;>.
Most mail systems I've dealt with, when bouncing email, set the
envelope sender to "<>" (and the header sender to "mailer-daemon" or
"postmaster" or some such). This keeps it from double-bouncing back to
the original system.
Is this the result of any particular mail-related RFC, or a
widespread but unofficial convention, or an unofficial convention which I
incorrectly assumed was widespread?
