Margy- Remember that a quirk of MailMan is that the person can "post" to the list from an address that isn't subscribed to the list provided the REPLY TO address IS subscribed. I've seen this several times in the past week. In my cases the compromised addresses were Yahoo address the spam was being sent from but the subscribed address was the person's actual ISP in the REPLY TO address. Check to be sure you don't need to moderate a REPLY TO address in the spam message. Joan In a message dated 7/10/2012 3:44:54 A.M.

You called it Joan. Drat. Just saw another one from the same person hit my list. Then scrolled down and saw this from you, I missed it this morning. I'll see what I can figure out and if not send the headers this way. Thanks!! I just switched back to Outlook from Mircosoft and have I swear they have changed stuff. I like my stuff the way I what it ;).
