The task IS arduous and usually depends on the cooperation of
various system administrators at the LISTSERV hosting site which
might include the folks responsible for LISTSERV, SMTP, and
MAILER (sometimes one person, other times three).  Then, you back-
track to the intermediate site(s) if possible, (the SMTP delivery
log is useful, but be sure to use the IP address stamped by SMTP
and not the hostname provided via HELO which the spoofer
provided), hoping that you did not encounter a dialup terminal
server that did not do authentication.  Again, the cooperation of
of non-LISTSERV sysadmins is required.
 
There is no fool-proof method, and it seldom can be done JUST
with the tools AND systems available to the single listowner.
