We get hundreds of bounces every day. If they all went back to the list then you would know about it. The Samba list sets the following header: Errors-To: listproc-errors@samba.anu.edu.au I use this return information to automatically unsubscribe persistantly bad addresses. The bounces that get back to the list are due to the fact that the digests are sent with a Reply-To: header of samba@samba.anu.edu.au. This is what is supposed to happen with digests. The problem is with badly written software that sends errors to the reply address rather than to the errors address. I cope with this by adding regular expressions into the .ignored file of listproc to try to catch these broken replies. This works quite well. When you see mail like this on the list do NOT send a message to the list complaining about it. That just creates more noise. If you really don't trust us to cope with it then you could send well thought out suggestions to samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. Andrew

RFC821 (in particular sections 2, 3.1 and 3.6) and RFC1123 (in particular sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.6) would be good reading for you in this case. I'll give a more detailed reply in a private letter as this discussion doesn't belong on this mailing list.
