Hi folks:
 
One of the lists I co-own has been struck by what appears to be a case of
spoofing.  Specifically, subscribers to the Psyche-L list are now getting
duplicate copies of the articles we send out.  The only difference is that
the second time the message header contains an additional field:
"Organization: SpaceShip Earth BBS - Salva al Planeta Tierra!".  The
administrator confirms that the listserver is actually sending these out
under the impression that the message has the approval of the moderator.
 
The suspected subscriber address (SSEBBS) has been removed from our list,
but this person has just reposted the last article he received from us a
second time.
 
Needless to say, this is causing a lot of exasperation.  The header and SMTP
log from the latest message is posted below.  Any suggestions on how to deal
with this problem would be greatly appreciated.  I am in touch with the
system administrator and will pass any information on to him.
 
 
Thanks
 
George Buckner
