You might retry using "jemhadar" instead of "jemadar". It looks like (assuming I read the nesting correctly) that the "gareth" account had already been closed in favor of "gary" after the hacking had already been discovered but before your listserv answered: > Whilst talking to jemhadar.demon.co.uk: > > MAIL FROM:<[log in to unmask]> > 250 Ok > RCPT TO:<[log in to unmask]> > 550 Unknown user <Gareth> > RSET > 250 Ok But I think what he wanted anyway was the original subscribe message, not your bounce. I don't know if you can get that from listserv or not. Headers on the original subscribe message might help him determine the abuser. Cheers, Stan Ryckman ([log in to unmask])
