Dang....I really didn't think that Prodigy was doing anything right until
now.  Anyway, if you put the list name in the from field, then any messages
that bounce will go back to the list and you will end up in a big bouncing
loop.  Here is an example of one that will bounce to the owner so that it
won't set up a loop in the list and warn you of problems with bounces
without bothering your list subscribers.  These are the headers (changed to
protect the innocent):

Here is what the aliases look like (I have put a blank line between lines
so that it can be easier distenguished in this email:

test-list: "| /usr/home/majordom/wrapper resend -l test-list -h
yourdomain.com test-list-outgoing"

test-list-digest:test-list

test-list-outgoing::include:/usr/home/majordom/lists/test-list,
 "| /usr/home/majordom/wrapper digest -r -C -l test-list-digest
test-list-digest-outgoing",

test-list-digest-outgoing::include:/usr/home/majordom/lists/test-list-digest

owner-test-list:youremail@yourdomain.net

owner-test-list-outgoing:owner-test-list

owner-test-list-digest:owner-test-list
