But then we wouldn't be able to see where mail had actually come from, which would be unecessarily annoying. If I *want* to apply my own anti-spam metrics on the route of the email then so be it. The error here is not bouncing mail correctly to Sender or Return-Path: Return-path: netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MTAs that don't obey that will bounce mail back to the posters, not the mailing list software, which breaks bounce handling, makes VERP pointless, and is just plain broken. > Again the mail list is not changing the from email address to be > the mail list like I think they should.

It isn't the From which MTAs obey but the Sender, which in this case is correctly set to be the mailing list. Why remove useful info just to compensate for terribly broken software? > As of yet I have not tried contacting this mail list administrator > to this regard so I can not comment one way or the other on their > cooperation, perhaps it is time to do such.
