Actually, the reason why the -request address SHOULDN'T appear in
the "X-Listserver" field is because X-Listserver is pointing to the
LISTSERVER, not the LIST MANAGER. The Listserver is what controls
all of the lists on my machine. The List Manager is just the poor
sod who has to run the list. In fact, it may even be proper on some
lists to have:
X-Listserver: "TLSP Listserv 1.0" <list-server@bahainvs.org>
X-List-Manager: Joe Schmoe <daily-quote-request@bahainvs.org>
X-Mailing-List: Daily Quote <daily-quote@bahainvs.org>, msg #13
X-Archive: daily-quote-archive@bahainvs.org
Precedence: list
Of course, this does appear to be getting a bit ridiculous. Because
the "main listserv" address usually CANNOT be inferred, X-Listserver
appears to have some usefulness. "X-List-Manager" would only be used
on those lists where the membership should know exactly who is managing/
moderating the list. "X-Mailing-List" is kind of redundant, but it
may have processing value. "X-Mailing-List-Archive" (or "X-Archive")
seems extraneous. But hey, why not?
