I had a message posted to a list I own that was clearly spam, or a phishing expedition. It was identified as from a subscriber, but when I looked to see the return address, it was "on behalf of" this:

In the list archive, it's identified as coming from his actual address, on yahoo. He didn't send it, for sure. The message content is simply a link, to a company which does seem to exist but which looks, um, questionable to me.

I'm not sure where the "on behalf of" information comes from; it might be Outlook, which is the mail program I've been reduced to using, and which I detest, partly because it hides actual email addresses.

Has anyone else encountered something like this?
