It depends on the group. Normally, no... What group did you post to? If it
was one of the groups gatewayed with an older mailing list, then if there are
any dead/obsolete recipient addresses still on the list that haven't been
cleaned out (deleted), then you could certainly get a bunch of bounces. The
'Errors-To' header field is set to 'news-errors@lugnet.com' on outgoing
messages, and these are automatically deleted, but some SMTP (email) servers
don't handle the 'Errors-To' header.
