I use postfix for my mailman. I use greyfix as a first line of defence. Should get my act together and hook in the spamassassin. > As far as I can tell, the email address in the "Errors-to" line is the > address of the specific recipient of the message, and not someone else's > (in other words, your copy of the message will include your address, > while mine will include my address). So, there isn't a privacy issue. It should normally sit in the header and only show up when inspecting it. I think that part is incorrectly inserted as a result of the other message. > However, if you reply to a previous message, that header will by default > be in the quoted original text and will expose your email address.

(I'm running Debian unstable on the > mail server, and updates occur very frequently.) I too run Debian unstable, but having chosen the Postfix/Greyfix path for my email lists it works well most of the time. Mailman upgrades is however not as painless as they should be, but they are rare. I also run Postfix and Mailman on a BSD machine and that keeps tickin, even if it is a multidomain setup.
