The "vacation" program really isn't an option, as this list has only been live for a week. I have been reviewing the log file, and it appears that somebody's posted messages are arriving with the from line reading [log in to unmask] A received confirmation message is sent to the listserv account, and then the error comes up. I'm in the process of checking now to see if it is the same subscriber that posted all these messages, or if there may be some internal configuration problem with our firewall/mail router. Thanks for the help.

I'm hypothesising here, but my first guess would be that some person on the list has a broken 'vacation' program or similar that is sending stuff to the list, wit broken headers. Most likely, it's sending it back with the From: still set to Listserv, rather than the person running the 'vacation' program. Second guess would be some broken MTA that is getting the SMTP headers (MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO:) confoozled with the RFC822 headers. But I've not had my morning caffeine, so I can't think of the full scenario that would cause this to happen... ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Tech --==_Exmh_1523357888P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMzlWUNQBOOoptg9JAQEEEgP+OoQ5212TUHVYoh/TGSQHArOU/0Vduh/T wRVDKfW1DuKA/tMs/WSrnaqYpWPoi3ihoMqc/lTzu86/wgID8eug5GV34JKTO9fc pIAxYFhRSxYfIyM1XkQO5/kzeqq0Qvhvkjd4Hs/0tmDUy7AL9P0pX9umckA0XO35 ILILwAfoyoQ= =Moar -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --==_Exmh_1523357888P--
