I didn' know that was a header feature.And while Bruce is at it, I suggest he fixes the ql-users headers to an appropriate format so it identifies itself as a mailing list :-)
It is not. Not really that is. Turnpike (and the Bat!) are smart enough to be able to distinguish them, however others (like Opera's M2, Eudora 5/6 etc) rely on the standard and thus it becomes a "headers" issue. (ie if some are missing then the post is not considered an mailing list message). Moreover this approach at times is better as it can potentially protect you from fraudulent posts (ie the spammer or virus writer may simulate some of the headers but not all of them (especially in a closed list like this one). The "appropriate headers" approach therefore will work great with both Turnpike and everything else that supports separation of regular from mailing list emails without loss of functionality (and a couple of additional benefits too)
Mind you get software (like Turnpike) which does all the necessary routeing etc by sender address. That is just as good isn't it?
No, not really since an email can be send from a mailing list but can also be forged (see above).
If Bruce wants a sample configuration file for majordomo I'd be glad to send him one. (It's also nice how you upload that... easy as 1,2,3)
