Buggeroo.

At the tail end of my listowner filter, I deliver to the listowner, and in 
doing so, change the envelope sender:

:0
! -f mailer-daemon(_at_)somedomain(_dot_)tld $LISTOWNER

(where $LISTOWNER was a passed or parsed argument identifying the actual 
address for the listowner delivery)

G-thanks! Seems I vaguely remeber a similar suggestion on the Smartlist
mailing list along time ago. Maybe $LISTOWNER is Majordomo speak or
something but it is no doubt applicable.

To date, for some reason, Smartlist, it's documentation, and the FAQ 
haven't addressed this little goodie.

Cheers,
