Well, yes and no. RFC822 says it *should* be returned to the Sender: This is not the same as the human(?) sender which is what I think you thought Stan meant. (great sentence construction eh? ;-) The problems start when a mailer returns errors to the From: or Reply-To: fields I notice that MAILBOOK has Sender: set to be the same as Reply-To: so there is a potential problem. I suspect, however, that LISTSERV used at Rice is smart enough to trap these nowadays which is why this list hasn't been bothered recently. Might be safer to change the Sender: field, Richard. John
