Any correct generator of bounces WILL send the bounce to the list software,
not to the list.
The only correct address in a message to which to send bounces is the
Envelope sender (which isn't carried IN the message...it comes from the SMTP
command MAIL FROM:<email@hidden>
Your message came in with (in common with many but not all mail systems,
ours copies the Envelope sender into a Return-path header it adds to the
message).
Return-path:
<applescript-users-bounces+mylocalpart=email@hidden>
Any server which bounces the message back to the address in the From: header
is wrong. That doesn't make it any less annoying.
Note that the Envelope sender address is customized (and now
obfuscated)...the list software can work out what the subscribed address is
that is causing the problem. The old way, it was just the list, and finding
the actual subscribed address in the face of forwarding was very tricky or
impossible (depending on how much stuff is returned in a given bounce).
