Yes, I have, and Majordomo also uses 'Precedence: bulk' for both its multiple recipient messages as well as its single recipient messages. > In the second place, I think that you just proved my point for me. > Yea, sure, *mailing list messages* should be labeled with > "Precedence: bulk", because they _are_ bulk messages that get sent > to MANY recipients. > > But that wasn't what we were discussing, now was it? > > We _were_ talking about one-shot auto-response messages. You aren't paying attention. List managers send out multiple recipient messages such as when distributing a list post. They also send out single recipient auto-responses (like TMDA does) such as when responding to a help request. In both cases, Majordomo and Mailman both use 'Precedence: bulk', not 'junk'. Have you filed a bug report with these projects as well? > Nobody has ever put forward any reason why null envelope sender > addresses MUST be used No one has said MUST.

It is a draft concerning the general behavior of auto-responders; it isn't specific to spam. It was submitted to the relevant groups and discussed extensively on those groups over a long period of time. > Anyway, with respect to e-mail, the IETF doesn't call the shots > anymore.

Anyway, the rest of your message is unconstructive, insulting and baseless, and I won't be baited by it. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
