I  quite agree. That's pretty sad and creates a lot more work for you,
and  I  admire your patience in deleting the USERS.LST just becasue of
this  one stupid domain. Have you talked to their IT people at all? Do
you want me to?

Yep, all headers are forgeable. You'd need to use password security to
avoid  this--and  why  not  do so? Their mail will go to you, then you
have  to enter the password on the subject line to get the mail out to
the list. Nobody can spoof that without knowing the password.

Ah,  but sending to a list exploder isn't relaying--the destination is
a  local address, and then new outgoing messages are created after the
list  is  exploded.  Relaying  shouldn't  apply  per  RFC  concepts of
source/destination. Sucks, though; I know it's counterintuitive.
