I have a subscriber at wco.com who has had problems posting to FILMUS-L.
When he joined, FILMUS-L was "Send= Public," and whenever he posted, his
messages were distributed with a "From" header that read "Undetermined
origin c/o LISTSERV Postmaster." LISTSERV apparently couldn't tell where
his messages were coming from. When he complained about it, I just told
him that the original "From" header was probably getting stripped off
somewhere and that I couldn't do anything about it at my end.
Recently I changed FILMUS-L to "Send= Editor" and "Editor=
[log in to unmask],(FILMUS-L)." Naturally, when he tried to post,
LISTSERV refused to recognize him as a subscriber and forwarded his
message to me. So, for the first time, I was actually able to see the
full headers on his message...and there *is* a "From" header with his
correct e-mail address, just as it appears in the subscriber list.
Can anyone suggest a reason why LISTSERV would ignore this "From" header?

This message was originally submitted by [log in to unmask]
to the FILMUS-L list at IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU. If you simply forward it back to
the list, using a mail command that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your local
user support or consult the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it
will be distributed and the explanations you are now reading will be removed
automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive into
a digest, you will have to remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you should
be able to contact the author of this message by using the normal "reply"
function of your mail program.
