I think the standard is for auto-responses not to reply to the list itself
(e.g. not posting to 50,000 people that you're skiing this weekend). I
don't think it was meant to say that mail couldn't be bounced back to a
mailer daemon.

In most cases, the envelope sender should be the daemon, not the posting 
address, right?

In some cases, no matter what I do, it keeps saying that the address I'm
mailing from is different than the one used to subscribe, so it won't let
me off the lists. Well, fair enough. But even if the problem exists
between the keyboard and the chair, I refuse to be bombarded with lists I
don't want, so I'm currently having procmail bounce them before passing
control to tmda.
