Hi Dave,
where I am confused is the focus on Mailing-List forwarding rather than E-mail
forwarding. I can't tell what the intended behaviors are.
Let's get clear:
1. If someone posts to one of the old e-mail list addresses (e.g.,
users@openoffice.org), what is intended to happen? What is the observed
behavior? How does this extend to use
of -subscribe, -unsubscribe, -help, -owner (or their OO.o counterparts), etc.
?
2. (a) If someone sends an e-mail to an existing account/e-mail address
(e.g., orcmid@openoffice.org), what is intended to happen? What does the
individual that it current forwards to get to know or do about it? The person
sending the e-mail? If the forwarding bounces, what will happen?
(b) If the account is closed/deleted, what are the 2(a) answers.

Joe and I discussed doing it w/o subscriber lists. As a pure forwarder that's
choice one and two.

You do. See my other reply.
