I'm not sure how to deal with this problem:
A request comes into a smartlist-managed request alias, where the
"From:" headers are unqualified, but the address on the "subscribe
ADDRESS" command *is* fully-qualified.
Our mailer, on the assumption that "plain", unqualified names can only
be local, qualifies the names with our default domain. Thus, in the
request header below, we see "ats@hubert.ucsb.edu", when, in fact, the
original request had "ats@hubert", without any domain name.
Since our mailer is doing the qualifying, there is no way SmartList, or
any other list managing software, can know that both the From: or From
address is wrong, unless they compare them against the address in the
Message-Id: (if there is one).
Does anyone know of an automatic heuristic to deal with these kinds of
problems, or should I just let 'em bounce?
