More to the point, I wanted to know what Michael Kaplan thought
about the various situations:
1) Sender isn't filtering bounces but multiple list members are
using his system and thus issue challenges.
In such a case the sender would get a lot of bounces. The simplistic
filtering system that my system uses to prevent such bounces
would be become much more prevalent if my system became so popular that
a significant number of list members were using my system.
The list operator should also then drop these deactivated bounce-generating
email addresses from the list as well.
2) Sender is filtering bounces (either approach that's been
discussed -- discard all bounces generated by this system because
you object to it, or look for recognized addresses as the bounce
sender), and multiple list members are using his system
If you send mail to asrg(_at_)ieft(_dot_)org then you won't get bounces from
other
people if you have the filter.
3) Sender is filtering bounces, and the original recipient address
is a simple mail forwarding service, with the final destination
running his system
Are we no longer talking about a mailing list here? Are you asking how
would the sender receive a legitimate bounce if the email were sent without
a sub-address? I think I know some work arounds but as my knowledge of
the intricacies of email is limited I'll defer this to more experienced members
of the list.
