1) figure out which recipient is doing it and get them out of the list
2) set password for the list

if you can't set password because the list members can't or won't remember to use it, 
then you're always going to be vulnerable to
having one of the subscriber's (or list-owner's) email address spoofed and messages 
sent to the list.  That's just the nature of a
public list.  A gateway or maybe the Declude product would probably intercept the 
forgeries, if that's an option for you.

Ok, I have more information.  It appears that one of the mailservers on our 
list is turning around and emailing the list "from" the original 
sender.  It, therefore, emails everybody all over.  How can I lock-down my 
list better?
