One still needs to consider whether the off-list activity would constitute
an offense. FREX, sending messages off-list because one is not allowed to
post on-list would not necessarily be an offense (IMO, that would depend
more on the content than on the delivery method); it can also be considered
a perfectly justified way to circumvent the blocking.

As for "forging headers" by changing the Reply-To address, I don't consider
that an offense; the return address is clearly visible in the "From:" field
of the incoming message as well as in the "To:" field of the reply, so the
recipient can easily see where his reply will be sent. It may not be *nice*
to change the Reply-To address, but it does not qualify as an offense.
