As a list owner that doesn't have server access to majordomo, but is interested in it's future, I have a comment and suggestion I'd like to throw to the wolves here.
It involves bounced messages based on a user's actions, rather than delivery status of the mail. A lot of us listowners try to automate responses to the user in order to minimize the amount of work that goes into a list. However all of the non-delivery-oriented bounces seem to require some sort of manual intervention because majordomo does not give us a way to reply to the original offender, only to itself.
I'd like to suggest a change/enhancement/option/doohickey in the majordomo code
for bouncing messages for reasons of administrivia or subscription attempts.
Please consider setting the Reply-To: header in a non-delivery oriented bounce to point to the original offender. Currently if I automate a response to an administrivia bounce, it goes off into majordomo land, and not to the sender. I can not automate these responses, since I have to do a cut and paste job from who knows where to the TO: line in my mail client (Eudora Pro 3.0)
Or am I all wet and have missed an obvious step in automating administrivia bounces??
Thanks.
Paul
