Thank you Karen for letting us know. The messages went through because the sender address is a subscriber of the list. Email addresses are "harvested" and sold in mailing lists just like telephone lists. And, it is very easy to configure your email program for the "from" line to say whatever you would like it to say. I have a different "from" line with my school account to use even though the messages are actually sent from my same program through comcast. I knew that others have used my email address when I received bounce notifications of messages that I never sent. Just consider this the same as creating return address labels for someone else and using them to send postal junk mail. Nedra List admin
