IIRC X- headers don't break any standards, they are to be ignored by those MTAs/MUAs who don't understand them, and contain information for those who do. When custom headers were introduced to TB, I created my own X-Thomas: header for testing, and my messages arrived at the list fine.

That's a bug in the list server software then. It should ignore any X-headers it doesn't have a clue about. IMHO. Instead, it chooses to raise an arbitrary alarm that cannot even be turned off. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
