  14. I'm setting up a mailling list for a user, and can't seem to get
  15. sendmail to insert an "Errors-To:" line when it expands the list.
  16.  
  17. The alias is "ansa-streams", here is what my aliases file has:
  18.  
  19.     ansa-streams:        ansa-streams-list@futureworld
  20.     ansa-streams-list:    :include:/u/huntting/ml/xyz.list
  21.     ansa-streams-request:    list-maintainer-dude
  22.     owner-ansa-streams:    ansa-streams-request
  23.     owner-ansa-streams-list: ansa-streams-request
  24.  
  25. Now as expected, if an error occurs on "futureworld" just after
  26. expanding the list the bounces will be sent to postmaster@futureworld.
  27. That's fine.
  28.  
  29. The only probem is that if an error occurs one or more hops down the
  30. line the bounces will be sent to the original sender, not the list
  31. maintainer.
  32.  
  33. The easiest way to get around this problem would be to insert the
  34. line:
  35.  
  36.     Errors-To: ansa-streams-request@futureworld.advtech.uswest.com
  37.  
  38. into the message when it is expanded.
  39.  
  40. Alas, I can't seem to get either 5.65+IDA-1.4.4 or SunOS' sendmail to
  41. do this.
  42.  
  43. Am I missing something?
