Ooops, looks like we have some fallout already. First of all, this
patch to BeroList will prevent it from sending out Return-Receipt-To
headers.

The patched and compiled list program is under my home directory on
htdig.org.
Too bad I didn't catch that on time to prevent Reynoso's mailbox from
filling up! I was also amazed at how many MTAs sent the return receipt
back to the Return-Path, when the proper e-mail address is right in the
Return-Receipt-To header. There's just a lot of bad software out there.
Anyway, here are the addtitions so far for the killfile, based on the
bad return receipts received so far:
