FYI to the list...
I did NOT attempt to send the message referenced in the attached bounce notice. It
appears that some spammer is forging my domain ID again.
If the moderator is reading this, please do NOT let the spam spewage post.
Thanks much.

Neither did the rest of us. Look at the headers: the "message held for
moderator" message was sent not to you (or me), but to
classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org (to which I assume you are subscribed). Why
classiccmp accepts mail from cctalk-bounces is a mystery; perhaps it's
related to the message having been generated locally to classiccmp.org.
I discovered this myself only after hitting the "cancel this post" URL,
to save the moderator the bother, assuming it was me that had been
forged, only to discover it was invalid (presumably because someone had
already hit it, or a moderator had already binned the message).
Looking more closely, I noticed the To:....

It looks like some SPAMMER is smart enough to know that he can't get his
message through to the list as a non-member so he forged the reply address
to make it appear that it came from a legitamit member. I hope Jay finds
his real address and sends a nasty note to his ISP.

If he finds out where he lives then I'll be happy to deliver something
even nastier.
