Folks,
So I was perusing the specification for Delivery Status Notifications (RFC
3461) and happened to come acrosss:
5.2.7.1 mailing lists
When a message is delivered to a list submission address (i.e.,
placed in the list's mailbox for incoming mail, or accepted by the
process that redistributes the message to the list subscribers), this
is considered final delivery for the original message. If the NOTIFY
parameter for the list submission address contained the SUCCESS
keyword, a "delivered" DSN MUST be returned to the sender of the
original message.
Removing any attempt to transit mailing lists makes a mass specification
simpler (since it does not require adding mechanisms to survive that
transition).
It also avoid redefining email's core construct of 'delivery'.
