	This is not really a problem with majordomo, except that it does
not deal with the problem that arises from incorectly configured mail
servers.  UNLESS, you have your sender set to the list, in which case the
mail servers are behaving as they are suposed to.  It WOULD be nice, if
(and I don't know if this is the case or not) resend caught these messages
sent to the list, and sent them to the owner.  Now, if you are saying the
original poster is getting the message, and no one else, then that could
also be a case of a misconfigured sender, or a misconfigured mail server
also, but there is NOTHING that majordomo can do about getting that
message to the right person, if it does not ever see it.
