- This has nothing to do with the use of MAILSERV.

-
- It should be removed for locally delivered messages. This is done by the
- nox_env_to channel keyword, which is attached to the local channel by default
- by the PMDF configuration generator. The effect of this keyword is also fully
- documented.

-
- This would be a very bad idea. This header is used to reconstruct envelope
- addresses and is used by some parts of PMDF for this purpose. Putting the
- list address in the header would lead to all sorts of message loops.
