One more Majordomo bug:

This is a regression from Cobalt Raq 4...
The "Reply-to:" header line cannot be removed by editing the config file. This should be allowed and is the default behaviour on Cobalt Raq 4. This allows a "reply to all" in your email client to go back to the original sender AND the list itself. Right now if you click "Reply to all" in your email client it shows the list twice.

Hi,

This is just a summary of issues I've seen with mailing lists, and I use
"base-maillist-glue ... 1.4.0-68BQ10.centos4":

1- It does not matter whether a mail list is closed or moderated, if a list
member and domain user sends mail to the list, the "Full Name"
<address@domain> is not recognized as list member (identical with BQ GUI 
entries) and is being bounced to the admin address (reported recently from
other people in this list).

2- A "Help" message is sent to every non-member addresses making it a
"dedicated NDR generating machine" due to constant spamming.

3- I happen to use a mailing list as a "distribution" list - where the
address of the list is published as a "contact" address for that domain.
Whenever the message header is longer than 1024 bytes, Majordomo generates
the appropriate error. While it's a Majordomo thing, this should not happen
- how does other software accepts longer headers?

Off-topic, but not completely unrelated to: there were some reports on
several other lists and I can confirm this is happenning in one of the
servers I manage, Yahoo deferres connections if there are more than 5
recipients in one transaction - how can one configure mailing lists to
spool/deliver only a limited/partial number of recipients for a particular
domain?

Hope this helped,
Neritan
