Tammy- The headers are forged --- nothing to do but delete these from your pending requests. This type of forgery is very common. Nothing you can do about it. As you noted this type of forged "from" addresses won't make it to the lists because the lists are not subscribed to themselves --- so they are non-subscriber bounces to pending requests.

I have received several messages to one of my lists that are Spam - absolutely NOT actual posts, etc. They were of course blocked so they did not make it to the list itself. What concerns me is that they appeat to have been sent from: collins-l@rootsweb.com and deacon-d-request@rootsweb.com Looking at the headers for these messages it does look as though they originated from the rootsweb system: ...Begin partial header... Received: from mail3.rootsweb.com (mail3.rootsweb.com [192.168.26.64]) by lists9.rootsweb.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id r1RJppHO002431; Wed, 27 Feb 2013 12:51:51 -0700 ...End partial header... They were then sent through at least one other mail system before being sent on to the list. Should I be concerned and where should this be reported to? I am asking here since my very few attempts to contact the "help desk" over the last few years has never proven helpful and selecting the forward to the spam system seems to be a void of nothingness that only seems to increase future spam. Any help or advice would be very appreciated.
