James, maybe he's stupid, maybe he's just trolling, maybe he's collecting business intelligence for one of our competitors. But you are right, the using of Message Disposition Notification should never be used on mailing lists.

Continued abuse, either accidental or intentional, can be prevented by pruning that header from the message before it goes out to all subscribers:

    http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=113372

It's a machine's job and, for good quality mailing list software, very quick to implement.

The notification appears to be a holdover from MS Exchange / Outlook combinations which cause large volumes of messages to be lost without even an error message.
