Hi-

I am getting Daily Error Monitoring Reports that contain references to
accounts the do not even exist on the list. These are private,
approval-only lists that require domain authentication for website
access (and are SSL). I cannot understand why I would get monitoring
reports for accounts not actually subscribed.

I know that the spam-generating viruses going around can fake mail from
any accounts, so when I see that stuff, I know it isn't real. But how on
earth can anything make my listserv ping or probe a non-subscribed
account and then send me a report of the results? I am baffled. This
person is not a subscriber - how can they be monitored?

Here's one of the reports:


The following 1 subscriber is currently being monitored:

Err First Last  Address
--- ----- ----- -------
  1 01/30 01/30 [log in to unmask]
                Last error: SMTP; 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:
                            [log in to unmask]



TIA for any insight!

Shannon
