David Raistrick sent me a copy of the bounce and a close look at the
headers shows that it's a namezero.com problem not a Yahoo
problem. That's no surprise, namezero.com have been sending bounces to
headers address for ages.

The problem is the list address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is MXed
to mail-in.namezero.com and looks to have a forwarding address of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you look closely you can see that Yahoo is
rejecting the mail at the SMTP level. The bounce is thus originating
from mail-out.namezero.com which is incorrectly using a header address
as the bounce address.

Yahoo is doing everything correctly as far as I can see and namezero
is doing everything incorrectly.


Regards.
