We who participate in ARPANET mailing lists via MAILNET have
to pay the charge not only of sending messages to the list,
but also of sending all messages from ARPANET to our site.

It is then rather a nuisance when we receive error-messages
that an entry which someone at our site made in an ARPANET
mailing list could not be delivered to one member of that mailing
list - information which is of very little value to us.

Could not this be solved in the following way:

(a) Such error-messages are sent to the SMTP-sender, not to the
author.

(b) ARPANET mailing lists, when redistributing messages, indicate
the postmaster at the site handling the mailing list, and not
the original author, as the SMTP sender when redistributing
the message.
