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. >------------------------------ATTACHMENT------------------------------ >>Date: Thu, 1 Dec 1994 14:23:37 -0500 >>From: "L-Soft list server at PSUVM (1.8a)" <[log in to unmask]> >>Subject: Output of your job "EQUINE-L" >>Sender: Discussion forum for Horse fanciers <[log in to unmask]> >>To: Recipients of EQUINE-L digests <[log in to unmask]> >> >>> CONFIRM EQUINE-L >>You are not subscribed to the EQUINE-L list. >>
