I want to make a plea for some of the big mailing list servers to start
putting themselves in as the return path, instead of the person who
submitted the transaction to the list.

I am tired of the volume (and I mean VOLUME) of failed mail notification
that I get every time I send to this (and several other) lists.

What is needed is for the home system of HEADER-PEOPLE or whatever to
make header-people-request the target of the return path, instead of me.

Further, if the SMTP server involved implements EXPN, then it should NOT
expand header people.
