Mike,
Probably used a return address of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', where
listname is the name of the list and thadomain.com is the domain name.
I'd suggest you use the Password feature and that way not only must the
return address match that of the moderator, but the password need be
supplied in the subject line (in the form '[:password:]', no ''!).
Happy Holidays!
Daniel Donnelly
