  My understanding of the question was that it was for subscribers.
I think it very innappropriate to teach subscribers how to forge mail...
it is listproc's problem....they should deal with it.  The last thing
we need on this list, given the recent mail, are more people who
have learned to forge mail...sigh.  Ok...an over-reaction on my part
perhaps....but I really have a problem with advocating a 'telnet to an
addr smtp/25'!   It is not a solution....even though I have done it when
necessary... call me a hypocrite.  No software worth its salt should
even require this of List-owner's.  I also know this info is available
via www and the appropriate RFC.
 
  My opinion alone.  I'm tainted by being involved in security at
our site.

ps. Good summary though for the most part.  You forgot forging the
'receiced' lines so no one can find out who the person is.
