I forwarded to error message back to the user in the "From:" field and
unfortunately didn't LOG the blasted thing. I only thought to post the
question to this list after talking to our VMS systems programmer. I'll
try to get a copy back from the user I sent it to and I'll definitely save
the next one I get... I actually saw a "Sender:" field that was set to
Listserv@JHUVM in the body of the mail rejection. I don't know for sure
how the thing got started, but I assumed it was a DIST job since there
was no mailing list in the header and the "file" being distributed was
a NETDATA copy of a SCRIPT file. Not exactly standard mailing list fare.

Sorry for the lack of concrete info, it's been a hectic day.
