Now that we have all determined that the Errors-To: is ignored in many
cases and that modifying the headers so bounced mail isn't forwarded to
the list, is considered "a bad thing" what should we do about it now?

I run 2 mailing lists and I have been changing the headers, recipient's
MUA be damned.  After our system was brought to it's knees due to
stupid mailers bouncing mail to the list, I started changing the
headers.

I know this is rather harsh but the reason for having the list is that
the sender wants his mail forwarded to the list, the recipients don't
want to read mailer-daemon mega-bounces, we don't want our machine
shoveling daemon bounces back and forth. The simplest and only solution
I could find is to start munging the headers. It makes it difficult to
reply only to the sender but I feel that this solution is the best of
two "bad things".

So, instead of discussing "you are doing an evil", how do we go about
fixing the problem? Does someone have something that both WORKS and
is GOOD?
