I take it you're saying, Eric, that there are no legitimate combinations
of RFC 822 headers, possibly including ReSent- lines or something
similar, which could confuse LISTSERV about whether a piece of mail is
from the list's editor?  You're saying that it can only happen with a
forgery, which I agree LISTSERV can't be responsible for?
 
Just a thought,
Nick
