I got a message from the server advising me that the enclosed message was
probably spam, and then:
 
"To be effective, a counter-measure must neutralize the spam
within  the first  five minutes.  Consequently, there  is no  time for  all the
LISTSERV  servers to  compare notes  with each  other before  acting, and  some
legitimate postings may be intercepted erroneously. If this is the case, simply
forward this message back to the list with an explanatory note".
 
So how does one send a text message back to the server?  It accepts only
specified commands.
