A list management program must put in a Sender field to
really be RFC-822 compliant. And, mail delivery systems
must use that field for handling bounces. Unfortunately,
CCmail and Exchange gateways are very often do not use
the Sender field. <sigh> but that is another whole battle.
Can someone at cygnus who has control over the new
list management software please configure it to put in
a Sender: field. If nothing else, a formail filter can put
one in for you quite nicely, but I am guessing that this
new software package you are using should be able to
do it. If you want - I can quote page and section of 822
that requires it. God knows I've done that to enough
postmasters for CCmail systems ;-)
As for Outlook scanning the entire header - not Outlook 97
that I am using on NT. It's filtering capabilities suck.
I really need to find me a Unix home on the net someplace
that I can connect via IMAP to.......
Thanks,
Dan
