Oh?  AFAICT the PG lists mail out with envelope sender and Sender:
header both pointing to list-bot addresses.  What else would you have
it do?

As a frequent poster to the PG lists, I'm sure I see as many problems
as anyone.  But they're rare.  Once in awhile some subscriber's mail
software starts bouncing complaints back to the message author instead
of the list-sender address.  I complain to Marc, he unsubscribes the
offenders, and that's that.  I can't recall that there was ever more
than one such bogosity active at the same time.

Marc Fournier <scrappy@hub.org> is the man to talk to about list
problems.  IMHO he runs these lists pretty well (and yes, I have
some experience as a list admin, too).
