Looking at the archive of C18-L, to which I subscribe, I find 24 of
them, all with the information that a message has been submitted to a
list moderator, a different one in each (my guess is that it's all
the moderated lists hosted at Penn State).  In each case the sender
is identified as C18-L.  It looks very much like an internal problem
at Penn State, not a virus. It also appears as though a loop started;
later messages seem to be reporting that _that_ message had been
submitted.  It doesn't look to me like a hacker, either.  My guess
is, burp.
