I'll send this to the list as well as JC because it's an example of a list 
management gotcha.

When I post a message (like this one), I don't get the bounces that JC 
does.  The reason he gets them is that his Eudora is configured to add the 
following header to his messages:

> Errors-To: <inet-list@vo.cnchost.com>

That header is not overridden by the Greatcircle list software - it is 
preserved.  So when his posting reaches the various dead accounts, he gets 
the errors.

For most other postings, like this one, I assume that the -owner address 
gets the errors.  And yes, it would be nice to prune the dead subs.
