Well, the original poster did not provide any sample of mail forwarded by
this method but I got the impression that the forwarding described works
by generating BSMTP fields to effect the forwarding and leaving the
original body intact, or something similar, such that the 'From:' field
still pointed to the editor and there was no 'Resent-From:'. The fact
that this can be done and actually causes LISTSERV to believe the note
came from the editor is a known design problem of this network, which
unfortunately we will probably never be able to fix. If there is a
'Resent-From:' field, LISTSERV will use it as the actual origin so this
should be no problem. If there is a 'Sender:' field pointing to the
forwarder and a 'From:' field pointing to the editor, the posting will be
accepted (so that you can have a hierarchical list setup with a common
editor), but it would be very strange for a forwarding package to do
that.
