This message, for example, has a From address dwmw2@infradead.org but the SMTP reverse-path, to which errors should go, is dwmw2@redhat.com. (Unless it goes through the list, in which case the reverse-path gets changed to linux-mtd-admin@, so that errors in list delivery go to the list admin, not the original sender.) > > At least tell us what kind of crap you've seen... > > http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2002-March/004413.html > Huh? This virus scanner is looking at the To: address?!? Or something equally stupid. Hence abuse@ their ISP getting CC'd on the complaint. -- dwmw2
