Hi Andrew,
Thanks for showing me the light.
After blowing up the headers of those mails, I discovered that there are
some headers that are common to all regardless of the list name:
Sender: bind-users-bounce(_at_)isc(_dot_)org
Errors-to: bind-users-bounce(_at_)isc(_dot_)org
Precedence: bulk
List-unsubscribe:
<mailto:bind-users-request(_at_)isc(_dot_)org?Subject=unsubscribe>
X-List-ID: <bind-users.isc.org>
So that makes sense.
Great help that was!
