Summary: Make all outgoing mails RFC 3834 compliant

Initial Comment:

Hi,

please make all outgoing mail RFC 3834 compliant, to
help reasonable processing in an RFC 3834 compliant MTA.

Especially the vacation/autoreply functions of all up to date (e.g. SUN JSMS, Sophos PMX) mail servers respect these header tags and helps keeping the list admin free of managing dump reply mails.

Details:

Thanks!

Most of the automatic processing mail engines like
autoresponder/vacation/SPAM-digest systems respect RFC 3834 mail header. So
it is useful to add the RFC 3834 headers to any auto generated mail Mailman
sends out, e.g.: subscribe, unsubscribe messages, password reminders, and
perhaps any regular distributed post to the list (see rfc and search for
list), cause it makes no sense to send back e.g. a vacation message to the
originatin mail list for any of these types of messages.

For the right header tags and details see the rfc 3834.

The presence of the casual List-..... headers are not sufficient so far.

Hope this helps ... :-)

Care to provide any specifics on just what exactly it is that you deem
non-compliant?    It's been a while since this debate has seen the light of
day.... come prepared. :-)
