I had heard that there was a field for bouncing messages, but that it is no longer used because other networks do bad things with that address. Personally, I'd like to see a "Errors-To:" field become a standard on the internet. Another possibility would be a field that simply says don't bounce at all; sort of the mail equivalent of a datagram, i.e. an unreliable mail message. Such a field would look like "Don't-Return:", or perhaps an "Errors-To:" field with a blank address. BTW, the appropriate place for this discussion is probably header-people@mc. I've remailed the previous articles in this discussion there, and suggest that interested persons start reading header-people - they talk about just this kind of stuff. Robert Lenoil -------
