> bounces. Are there any solutions for this in the works?
This came up just a few days ago. The solution is to remove the filter
unless the ISP wants to forbid any of his customers from subscribing to any
mailing lists anywhere. Mailing lists of all kinds have put the list's
address in the To: field for over 25 years and it's a little late to ask them
all to change.
Nobody seriously thought that a mailing list manager should do anything
special to circumvent misbegotten filters. There are plenty of reasonable
tests to separate spam from real mail, but that's not one of them.
This also rejects all sorts of other legitimate mail, e.g., if someone has a
forwarding mail address at pobox.com or ieee.org or acm.org that forwards to
their local account, all that mail will get thrown away as well.
