I just realized, after running Sympa for months,
that if you send a message to the listname-owner
email address, it doesn't get through. I never
thought of it, but now some of my users, in a
discussion, let me know. And they were right!

My system's a RedHat Linux 7.2 system, and I'm using
sendmail, so yes, smrsh is a factor. Here's a part
of my aliases file:

play-area-owner: "|/etc/smrsh/bin/bouncequeue address@concealed"

When you send a message to play-area-owner, it goes
into the error logs (I had to turn logging on) as:

Jun 1 18:23:24 squidge bounced[388]: error: no address found in message from
X-Sympa-To for list play-area


OK, so I've either done something stupid, or I'm really,
really unique (heck, could be both!). Anyone help?
