Re: [Plug] PLUG Meeting Subject-Suggestion!!

Dows that imply that a poorly done MTA on the other end can potentially
crash the list?

Actually, Mailman (the mailing list software that this list uses) is very
good at handling bounced messages and other delivery problems... as long
as the MTA on the other end functions correctly.
All messages sent out through Mailman have the list admin address included
in the headers as the address failures should go to (I don't remember the
name of the header). The problem we just experienced stemmed from the MTA
involved not using that header but using the Reply-to header.
