I have a local user for whom I have set up a list on our LISTSERV. This
user, however, spends most of his time on FidoNet, and would like to be
able to communicate with LISTSERV from there. The trouble is that some
where in the gatewaying from FidoNet to Internet (it appears to go through
UUCP), a 'bang' style address is being inserted in the mail header under
the field "Sender:". LISTSERV sees this (or, perhaps, sees the difference
in the "Sender:" and "From:" fields), thinks that it is dealing with error
notification from a MAILER, and generates the appropriate error mail to me,
and to the list owner.
Am I in the ballpark as to what is happening? Anyone have a solution or a
work around? I've included the error mail from LISTSERV (which includes the
original incoming mail).
Thanks in advance for any help.

The enclosed mail file, found in the LISTSERV reader and shown under the
spoolid 1593 in the console log, has been identified as a possible delivery
error notice for the following reason: mail origin seems to be a mailer or
mail-daemon.
