While this is not a problem on any of our lists, it is fairly easy to forge
a From address to one of an existing subscriber, and the post will go
through when Send=Private. Another owner and I tested this and we find that
the Listserver strips out all identifying source information that could be
used to track down the forger. So there is no way such a person could be
stopped. Is there some log file somewhere where this information is
maintained? (Not that I'd want to pester my site administrator, but if this
became a problem....)

Don.
