Note that this isn’t a problem with Michael’s email setup, it’s a problem with Netcom’s settings and how third-party mail servers are supposed to validate. Netcom’s basically got settings that say, “IDGAF who sends mail in our name."
I’d actually recommend that all lists stopped permitting all the broken email providers who don’t enforce SMTP server validation (e.g., netcom, earthlink, yahoo). That way, subscriber info that’s sniffed out on various lists can’t be re-used by spammers/scammers. I’ll note that fastmail.com doesn’t have this problem, which is why I prefer it.
