I tell users to configure their mailers to *always* use the non-node-
specific addresses, and if this is impossible with their choice of software,
they need to communicate that to their provider and/or the software vendor,
not to us. Mail from a given user on a given net access should always
present the same address (or at least allow the user to present the same
Reply-To address, which Majordomo, at least, will use as an override).
We have a RIGHT to expect that.
