My concern here is how and why is this error being generated through my host
mail server and Listserv??
This similar "false report" did occour in the first week of November when
valid subscribed userID was switched with other domain levels to make up
invalid E-mail addresses. The userID's were two of my own test accounts on
unrelated domains. The four "doctored", invalid E-mail subscriptions were
reported again in the "Daily Error Monitoring Report" below. The numbers of
errors reported were not possible from the fact that actual posting numders
were either 1-2. not 6,9, or 16.

This November incident can be connected with a file that was sent to the
List using the "[log in to unmask]" listserv address. That file was
also BCc: to an unsubscribed "friend" who had previous E-mail addresses
within their mail client Inbox that contained all of the userID used in the
November false error report information. That "friend' became infected with
the "BugBear", or "BigMM" type virus infection.
This could explain the "doctored" E-mail addresses using different domain
levels. But, the false entries in the "Daily Error Monitoring Report" for
failed, excessive numbers is not clear as to how the invalid information got
into or through the host Listserv-mail servers.
The virus only, first discovered on the friday so perhaps the host virus
program was not able to detect the new virus.
Any similar incidents happening out there, or any insight ... ??
Thanks,
Art
