There's also the non-standard "bounce-handler-*" header, but it's extremely limited use made me feel it wasn't worth mentioning. Your point, however, Colin, was worth mentioning. ;-P That aside, coincidentally, I'm suddenly receiving a lot of bounces from the list this morning. Even on messages that were properly delivered, and to which replies were issued. Anyone else getting these? Example: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lists.php.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <php-general@lists.php.net>: This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6) -- Daniel P.
