RFC822 says that Return-Path is supposed to point back to the "originator",
not to transport or redistribution agents...  But I guess standards are
there to be interpreted;  certainly in this case we can "interpret" originator
as the agent which caused this piece of mail to be sent to this address if
that is the most useful.

The problem is that RFC822 simply does not adequately address the
concept of centrally-maintained mailing lists.  This is certainly
a topic for which a new RFC would be appropriate.  Anyone want to
get famous?
