I'm sorry. I do not understand what your problem is. >*From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *dacey >aseria >*Sent:* Monday, June 12, 2006 7:38 AM >*To:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] >*Subject:* I'm not a follower... I'm a leader with the same idea This looks like a Microsoft Outlook rendering of a message from the 'mailman' list posted to the list by "dacey aseria". This is the way Outlook would show a message with From: dacey aseria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This would be the Sender in a message from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.003.htp> for more info. The Sender is set to the list-bounces address to help get actual bounces returned to the proper place. Is dacey aseria a list member? It looks like someone has spammed your list by spoofing the address of a list member. There is no good way to deal with this in Mailman although Privacy option->Spam filters may help. The real solution is to do spam filtering in the incoming MTA before the mail ever gets to Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
