Craig, You aren't over your head here, what you say is correct (I was building computers long before most of you were playing lutes). But this particular "bounce" message doesn't look good. You are right that we on the list often send duplicate messages by using "reply all" - one through the lute list and others to those copied on the "To" line (or the CC: line), but I think the originator is always the sender (Wayne might comment on that, but I think the lute list is a forwarding function that doesn't change the header).
Either way the key phrase is: > > We do not have your email address in our database > > as a human verified sender. I have seen similar blocking messages often, but they would normally say that you aren't on the recipient's authorized list. One can block spam by making one's own local list of authorized senders (or perhaps do that at the higher level at your ISP) - but that is self defeating as one loses any "surprise mail" from legitimate senders. I know of no legitimate Spam blocking service that would be able to intercede in email (other than the receiver's ISP). > > > > Your email was not delivered to the recipient. Please verify > > that you are a human by clicking below. This is the only time > > you will be asked to perform this. Yeah man <g>, I be human. Text taken from the legitimate spam blocking forms, but not when used in this way. Murphy's Law #33, if the signature contains the word "team" it is probably illegitimate (unless a direct response from your question to a vendor's customer support). Best, Jon To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
