Hi Peter,

Unfortunately the chances are they don't even know they are doing it and as these 
posts that we are seeing are via a List we don't even know who is doing it as the 
original email headers have been stripped off.

We see squillions of these aliased posts every day, its a serious pain, and a cost :-(

Here is a line from a bounce message I got back today from a mail server somewhere for 
a post I allegedly sent:
..............
Received: from mbcomms.net.au (dsl-210-15-204-246.NSW.netspace.net.au [210.15.204.246])
..............

Now if you peek at our address range it is not hard to discover that our mail server's 
territory is 202.129.130.nnn (just look up mail.mbcomms.net.au for example), we are 
certainly not a DSL connection via netspace in 210... territory! :-)

 From the IP address we know that whoever did send the email has a broadband 
connection that has an IP address of 210.15.204.246 and is either a crook (unlikely) 
or has an infected machine (very likely).

What we do is send off an email to the ISP concerned and hope they can sort it, no 
great hopes........
