 I forwarded to error message back to the user in the "From:" field and
 unfortunately didn't LOG the blasted thing.  I only thought to post the
 question to this list after talking to our VMS systems programmer.  I'll
 try to get a copy back from the user I sent it to and I'll definitely save
 the next one I get...  I actually saw a "Sender:" field that was set to
 Listserv@JHUVM in the body of the mail rejection.  I don't know for sure
 how the thing got started, but I assumed it was a DIST job since there
 was no mailing list in the header and the "file" being distributed was
 a NETDATA copy of a SCRIPT file.  Not exactly standard mailing list fare.

 Sorry for the lack of concrete info, it's been a hectic day.
