Configure list to suitably handle return receipts

[Rahul P Akolkar <ak...@us.ibm.com>]

First off, sorry about the notifications earlier in the day. I got booted, 
but I need my tomcat-dev emails.

My understanding about Delivery Status Notification (DSN) is that if the 
sender of the original email requests return receipts, then a DSN 
compliant mail server (such as the one I use), will do the expected thing 
and provide that notification. I had posted this question to 
infrastructure@apache.org in relation to the same issue last year and the 
response I got on that list appears at the end of my email.

It appears this is something the list owner(s) can/should look into? 
Suggestions, anyone?

Thanks in advance,
-Rahul

It would be better to configure those mailing lists to remove
headers which cause return receipts. I think old lists are missing
'Disposition-Notification-To' and 'Return-Receipt-To:'

But you are ignoring;

Precedence: bulk

present on all list mails, which should supercede any DSN request.
