Mailing List Archive: qmail and Petidomo

I'm trying out qmail with Petidomo as the mailing list (Petidomo is
a lot like a lightweight version of Majordomo).

It seems to work out fine, except for what's being put in the message
headers:

Return-Path: <owner-humour-list@cello.synapse.net>
Delivered-To: evanc@cello.synapse.net
Received: (qmail 6454 invoked by alias); 9 Feb 1997 20:59:02 -0000

Notice the two Delivered-To lines, and that the top one shows the
outgoing address of the list.

It also seems like without using qlist, you seem to lose the improved
bounce detection. Is there a way to get the bounce detection with
another mailing list package? (alternatively, is there a way to get
qlist to run moderated mailing lists?)

Actually, no. The envelope sender isn't set until *after* the mail is
forwarded, so if there's an error in anything run from the mailing
list .qmail file, the bounce message will go to the author of the
postings, not to the list maintainer. Instead, forward to
LIST-archive, and archive from that .qmail file.
