and just how is an algorithm supposed to detect that <jeff-kell@utc.edu> is a single human and not a list?
It is really too bad that there is not place to put a "precedence" that the software could key on--with values like "bulk" or "junk" or "list".
Headers of your message include:
Precedence: list
[snip] I knew that.
Proper mail clients can provide "list links" based on the List- headers, but few if any actually do.
So take your pick, but my point remains, it still retains:

And I'm nowhere mentioned. I only appear in the "envelope RCPT TO:<> RFC821 header", nowhere in the RFC822 header.
It's not rocket science if you have headers available (which even Outlook can see, although you have to jump through a few hoops to see them).
My point is, and was only that the ID10t's robot-responder needs only two rules (one of which is sortakinda off topic in a muchmorphed OT threadlet) are: If the Precedence is "list", "junk", or "bulk" DO NOTHING, else, if the address to which the proposed babblegram is to be sent has received a babblegram from us since the controlling file was created DO NOTHING, else, BABBLEON. -- Requiescas in pace o email Two identifying characteristics of System Administrators: Ex turpi causa non oritur actio Infallibility, and the ability to learn from their mistakes.
