Yes...actually the header of the message that was delivered to the list even
included the following, with the correct "Received from" ip address of the
listserv server

This   message   was  originally   submitted   by   <senders email address>
to   the
NEDELEGANNOUNCE list at LISTSERV.company.ORG. If  you simply forward it back
to
the list, using a mail command  that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your
local
user support or consult the documentation of your mail program if in doubt),
it
will be  distributed and the explanations  you are now reading  will be
removed
automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive
into
a digest, you will have to  remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you
should
be able  to contact  the author  of this  message by  using the  normal
"reply"
function of your mail program.

Did you check to verify that the lists' addresses were
not spoofed and that these unwanted postings actually
came through your Listserv server?
