Sometimes my smartlist tries to reply to foo@bar in response to mails sent to the "-request" address. (the mail then bounce to the maintainer).
Can't find where this is initiated. I searched the faq but don't seem to find things similar. I vaguely recall it was mentioned some short while ago. Could someone elaborate a bit?
Thanks!

It is in formail. From the man page of formail:
If formail is supposed to determine the sender of the mail, but is unable to find any, it will substitute `foo@bar'.
If you have access to the sources, you may change this address in config.h, then recompile and install anew.
I don't know, however, whether there are some programs/scripts that rely on this specific address. At least in my installation (a v1.13.1 installation), it seems to be only formail that contains the string "foo@bar".
