How did you enter that keyword into the list? In principle it should have been rejected. >Comments: <Parser> W: Invalid RFC822 field - "I have decided to resign my > duties as Shadowrun listowner.

LISTSERV can't determine the true origin, and sets it to [log in to unmask] In that case it also skips the filter check since it knows the message is not really from POSTMASTER. The reason it uses POSTMASTER is to have a valid address one can reply to, rather than a black hole. Actually I should probably change this to owner-LISTSERV and remove the filter skip. Eric
