More to the point, rhnet.org/mail.rh.monroe.edu needs to get a less
brain-damaged mail system.
According to RFC-2821 bounce/NDRs should be sent to the Envelope From
address, NOT the header from. The SA list sets the Envelope From address
to point back to the list server. So a proper mail system will send the
NDRs to the list server thus the list maintainer will see them and can
drop dead addresses and list members will not be bothered by them.
(Gee there's a reason for all that RFC-stuff ;).
