Re: Sending Mail
Some servers deal with bouncy mail by rejecting anything from root, daemon,
postmaster, etc. Basically anything that would be returning bad mail.
I think the Linux mailing lists work this way, since I don't remember the
same sort of arrangement with different From addresses and Replyt0o
(excuse typos, I'm on a slow laptop).
