Looks like I'm in over my head again....the origin address appears to be "ukrtel.net". I'm not sure why this owner elected to make himself an editor of a one way announce only list. I have suggested that he remove that. Thanks for all the help. I am still looking..

Plus, the full headers will reveal the complete delivery path from the point of
origin - information which will not be available in the MTA log, if the message
originated from a system other than the one which delivered it to the MTA.
