Mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are simply forwarded to the list members, preserving the return-path field pointing to the original sender. You can trace the whole route of the original message. Mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are first copied somehow, and a copy originating from the arachne server is sent to the list members by a certain "smmp" program or module. The return-path points to [EMAIL PROTECTED] this time. This should not be an alias of the list, because in that case the bounced messages should loop like you told us below > Recently, a server for another listservice that I subscribe to went berserk. > Bounced messages were resent to the list and the messages that were bounced > were bounced once again and resent again and again.
