Yes -- it came to me at the same time as others received it.  I put the
domain name in sendmail's access database, rather than bothering to figure
out what networks they're using.  So it sailed right by.

You're right, it didn't go through the list server.  Sorry if I wasn't clear
about that.  The listserver can't be fooled quite so easily.  It came to me
just as it came to you.  I thought about including the entire headers in my
message, but didn't want to have to explain the whole thing...  as you
kindly did.

Gotta wonder what'll be next.
