I'm the moderator for a list setup for "OK" approval of messages.

Recently I sent a message directly to a subscriber who used the Eudora
redirect option to send a message back to the list.  It went out directly
to the list with the "from" header below:

"Gary Klass (by way of tangela williams <[log in to unmask]>)"
              <[log in to unmask]>

This represents a serious security problem, in this case especially because
the message contained the happy99.exe virus.

Is anyone else aware of this happening?
