Yeah, the "radial flux in the atmospheric pressure" excuse may work for most users but not for my boss :-) > Do you have an actual message? Yes > Where did this message come from?

Actually you've hit the nail on the head here. I didn't look at the headers in the mailman interface and the headers of the received message only reveal normal From: To: Cc: etc > Or are you just talking about the message without actually having it in hand? No I have it, I just didn't know what to look for when the error occurred, and approved it. Given that this was a time-critical notification for local infrastructure, and concerns were only voiced long after alternatives had been explored the blame has to fall somewhere.
