Hi there,
Several of our local lists have recently started bouncing messages
from userid's like: [log in to unmask] The stated reason is usually
"mail origin seems to be a mailer or mail-daemon."
This is the header of one offending posting:

A copy of the entire bounce is below.
The NODES INFO1 table shows USGSRESV to be a VAX/VMS machine belonging
to the US Geological Survey. I telnetted to sri-nic.arpa and did a
quick whois on both USGSRESV and US Geological Survey with no result.
I sent to NetServ@PUCC for the Nodentry for USGSRESV and found the name of
their techinfo person and netop to be J Fisher (JFISHER@USGSRESV).
I debated writing this person, but decided not to when other lists started
getting ill w/ the same problem. Some gateways (only on VAX/VMS machines so
far) make outgoing mail appear to listserv to be from the userid POSTMASTER.
I assume the problem is caused by a recent change to listserv which sniffs
out messages that looks like bounces. A good change, by the way, no
critisism intended.
Having said all that, where do I go from here? Is there some quick, easy
fix for this or must it be dealt with on a case by case basis?
Thank you kindly,
