No, bounces must go to the list owner.  It's no good sending bounces to
the original sender of the message, since they're in no position to
fix the problem.

If you use the "resend" that comes with Majordomo to munge your headers,
you need to specify "-f owner-listname" and make sure you have an alias
"owner-listname" that is the owner(s) of the list.

Sendmail v.8 automatically does "the right thing" (mostly) if your list
is simply a :include: alias and you have an "owner-listname" alias
specified in your aliases.
