A 'CONFIRM EQUINE-L' command was sent to 'LISTSERV@PSUVM',
apparently from the ID [log in to unmask]
 
Get the system-programmers at PSUVM to check the mailer-logs,
and the SMTP-logs, in order to determine the true source of the E-mail,
i.e., whether it was a "spoofed" piece of E-mail.
 
The LISTSERV server generated the response ("Output of your job ...").
 
It E-mailed the response to the ID specified in the 'FROM:' tag
which was found in the incoming E-mail.
 
Since that ID was 'EQUINE-L@PSUVM', LISTSERV selected the "posting".
 
It "distributed" the message to all the non-NOMAIL subscribers
of that mailing-list.
