I have a delivery script that replaces bulk_mailer. I always use it to
deliver digests. It puts in an extra header that gives the original
recipient and unbulks the delivery - a separate piece of mail for every
recipient and so forth so that I can get positive tracking. I always
deliver digests using a similar procedure. When I get desparate, I plug
this in to the delivery alias and let a delivery go through on the regular
list.
I really hate the stupid alum relays at MIT. One of my users relays from
MIT to mcimail and his mailbox fills up. The bounces from mci make it
pretty impossible to figure anythng out. I finally wrote special bounce
parsers that look for alum in the received headers and just move this guy
to digest.
I guess that the point is that such bounces and relays are always going to
happen. I've had Lotus systems scrub tracking headers out of stuff I've
sent them and all sorts of crap. We can only hope that more people adopt
DSN and preserve the original recipient.
