Hi --
I keep getting replies to my mailing list with To: fields like:
To: Atlantis-Owner (Rich Skrenta)
It seems to be mixing information from both the Sender: and the From:
fields of the original letters. The Atlantis-Owner comes from the Sender:
field, and (Rich Skrenta) was the real name from the original From: field.
(The original header of the letter that was replied to is listed below.)
(The list name is Atlantis. Atlantis-Owner is me, which is not what the
Reply-er wanted. I am using Brent's resend script to run the list)
Now these are probably pathological mailers, but is there anything
I can do about this? Am I doing everything right?
thanks
