Are you sure? My reading of the headers is that it didn't go through
your system at all. Jeroen just sent it out to everyone from the old
Brin-L list that he had (recipient list suppressed). I guess he BCC'd
it.

See the headers of the message I received below. It allegedly originated
at notebook.mccmedia.com, which is obviously forged, then it went to
amsfep15-int.chello.nl, Jeroen's ISP's mailserver. Then it went directly
to me. It doesn't look to me like your listserv processed it at all.

Also, you can see from the X-Sender and the Message-Id that the
real machine that sent it was not notebook.mccmedia.com, but rather
pop.brabant.chello.nl, in other words, the POP server of chello.nl that
Jeroen connects to from his Eudora mail client.
