Pat,
 
I'm glad you asked this question - I asked it here about two weeks ago and
no answer - but maybe we'll reach critical mass soon!
 
I have not yet found a way to use Eudora to forward mail to the list without
having it appear as *forwarded* from me. This is not so pleasant, since then
all the postings I pass on appear to be coming from me, rather than from the
actual senders.
 
I'm pretty sure that the problem is that when he uses re-direct, since no
"resent from" line is added, the listserv will not recognize that the
authorized editor is forwarding the message. I figured this out when I was
sending on the basis of a lot of experimentation.

If this is the case, he won't be able to post to the list directly, and he
won't be able to forward either. If he can do either of those, then he's
still recognized by listserv. If he can't, someone will have to change the
header information to reflect his new address.
 
 
Best of luck with this!
