www-talk configuration (Re: Message from WEBER at BCRVM1)

The problem is tht www-talk is not configured correctly. To guard against 
incidents like this one, a mail server should *not* set the From: field 
to the listname, but insted should have

From: owner-listname
Reply-to: listname
Errors-to: owner-listname
Precedence: list

I went through the headers of the autoreplies and actually though they 
were done quite well. The fatal flaw, of course, is the assumption that 
list servers will rewrite the From: field to a safe alias.
