It's not a problem of not matching the sender, it's a problem of having a 'From:' field that makes no sense, syntactically speaking. When this happens, the NJE origin is usually a gateway and cannot be used for anything. So, LISTSERV can either throw the message away, or process it with a warning and set the origin to something else (preferrably something valid and belonging to a human being). If it's sent to the LISTSERV userid it is thrown away, if it's sent to a list it is processed. Eric
