   The Options: header is a good idea.  How about a Bounced-By: header, to make
   it clear to mailing list repeaters that this mail shouldn't be broadcast to
   the list?  It could include the reason the mail was bounced.

That would be unnecessary if mailing lists would all make sure that,
when distributing out to the list's recipients, an Errors-To:
listname-request@listname-host-machine header were included.  Then
bounces would go to the admin only, and nowhere else.  Also, it helps
to have the From_ line indicate listname-request@listname-host-machine
to keep vacation(1) happily silent.
