Ooops, looks like we have some fallout already.  First of all, this
patch to BeroList will prevent it from sending out Return-Receipt-To
headers.

The patched and compiled list program is under my home directory on
htdig.org.

Too bad I didn't catch that on time to prevent Reynoso's mailbox from
filling up!  I was also amazed at how many MTAs sent the return receipt
back to the Return-Path, when the proper e-mail address is right in the
Return-Receipt-To header.  There's just a lot of bad software out there.
Anyway, here are the addtitions so far for the killfile, based on the
bad return receipts received so far:
