Here's one way this can happen: user FOO@BAR (BAR = RSCS host name)
sends message "TELL LISTSERV AT USCVM SUB TRKNWS-L Foo Person".
In his MAILUSER XEDIT he has a statement
"SETMAIL LOCAL.DOMAIN BARROOM"
(BAR and BARROOM are the same machine but have separate BITNET entries)
so that when he creates mail using the Rice MUA, the header contains
From: FOO@BARROOM
which LISTSERV can't find in the list. Not hypothetical -- I've seen
it happen. Here.
If the user is on a VMS machine, even stranger things can happen if
the mailer isn't set up correctly -- all sorts of "IN%" junk in the
address.
