   The most obvious reason is that if any sender makes the error to
asked for  recieve acknowledgment and if one person that is
on the mailing list has a mailer set up to automatically
reply to this ackowledgment, but also sets the acknowladge request,
you easily get into any endless loop of ackowledgment emails !
