Here's my view on the mailing list problem. It's self-consistent, but there are other (inferior!) views. (1) No problem; the envelope-to address (what you hand to sendmail on the command line, but more specifically the address that in SMTP goes over as the argument to RCPT TO:) doesn't have to have much of anything to do with the header-to address. (2) Change the envelope-from address to be what the notices of delivery errors should be sent to. (The envelope-from address is what is given in SMTP on the MAIL FROM: line.) Again, this address doesn't have to have anything to do with what's in the From: line of the message header. This lets error bounces not be redistributed to the list. Sendmail has support for both of these features, but I'm not a sendmail expert, so I can't really tell you how it's done best. Craig
