It checks the "From:" header (and possibly other headers or the SMTP envelope?). We've seen this happen, too, where the spammer has a header "From: Admin" and the E-mail gets to the list (presumably "admin" is treated the same as "administrator" and "root", and automatically has clearance to post to the list). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
