We have a recurring intermittant problem with mail from LISTSERVe to
users trying to subscribe to lists and particularly to owners of lists
There is a period inserted in the from address between the
OWNER-listname and the '@' sign, in the mail from, such as
MAIL FROM:<[log in to unmask]>
The following is the complete text of a sample bounced mail.
