[bit.listserv.pmdf-l] Problems with gateways...

In my case I would probably put in 'unwrite rules' for just two or three gate-
ways, CUMYVM, CMU as examples.

As Ned says, gateways often are included to make the address replyable, because
no other route exists.  In many cases, however, they are there for the sole
reason that the mail to which they are  replying passed through that gateway
and the  gate added its route to the mail.  This is why there is a problem with
CMU.  All the mail to the CMU-TEK mailing list goes through CMU's paranoid
mailer which adds otself as the route for the mail, ignoring the fact that
it plans to bounce any mail sent in reply.
