And that's  still not enough. LISTSERV  must be modified not  to give the
editor address in the message saying "your mail has been forwarded". Then
it must  be modified to  look for "Received:"  lines that might  have the
address  of  the  editor, and  remove  them.  Then  it  must look  for  a
"Message-ID:"  line and  do  the same  thing,  and so  on.  In fact,  you
probably have to  disable the IETFHDR option altogether.  And when you've
done all that, you've just barred a single road for the hacker. There are
other ways to have the message distributed (it's probably best if I don't
give details).  The bottom  line is  that this  is not  a working  way to
protect  your list.  A possible  working method  would be  to use  the OK
mechanism to  require the  editor to  confirm that  he actually  sent the
message. It would still  close only one of the roads,  but it would close
it  in an  acceptable  way,  without impacting  usability  and having  to
maintain voodoo code all over the place.
