Somebody just posted (or tried to, there was a screwup in their headers) to my lists that I had resigned my position as listowner (which I certainly did not such thing). It "appears" that somebody tried to spoof their way into the mailer. Now, two things: 1) I have a filter list with postmast*@* 2) There is no send=public in my headers Yet, the mailing still got through. so: A) is the filter line not correct B) does it need to be, perhaps, send=private ---------------------------- I am including a copy of the headers of the message that appeared to be spoofed and a copy of the list settings for that list.
