Seems to me that Listserv now lets me lie on the From: line in jobs.  I
know mail is easy to forge, but I would like listserv to help me avoid
making silly mistakes.  How should I compose a job so that the system
checks that the mail *really* appears to come from me.  Here is the job
I send.  There is no clue as to who the mail is really from.   I am sending
it from a non-priveleged userid.

Hi folks.  Bet you don't know whom this is from.
