I was commenting on the "how does it get to you" which is not via the information in the headers. >> From your email (irrelevant headers stripped): >> ==================================================== >> Return-Path:<hampshire-boun...@mailman.lug.org.uk> >> Received: from mailman.lug.org.uk (mailman.lug.org.uk [217.147.93.71]) >> by jane.earlsoft.co.uk (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id o4FJCaEo006421 >> for<d...@earlsoft.co.uk>; Sat, 15 May 2010 19:12:36 GMT > > Is d...@earlsoft.co.uk not the email address you're subscribed with? Yes, my server happens to log it in the received headers, but it's not guaranteed. The point was that if my server (or any other between mailman and the mailbox) didn't, then it wouldn't be in the headers at all. Mailman does not list the destination. -- Dee Earley (d...@earlsoft.co.uk) irc: irc://irc.blitzed.org/ web: http://www.earlsoft.co.uk phone: +44 (0)780 8369596 -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
