Misdirected messages

[Graham Freeman]

Hi folks,

At least three times in the recent past I've received messages which had "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" somewhere in the To: or Cc: lines (plus an individual or two), but not any list that I'm actually subscribed to.

Based on the headers of these messages, I think that one or both of the following are occurring:

1) "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" has the imap.*washington\.edu list subscribed to it. If so, that's silly - please don't do that.

OR

2) People are putting the imap.*washington\.edu list in the Bcc: field of their messages. If so, please don't do that. It does more harm than good. Instead, put any/all list recipients in the To: or Cc: field.

Here are the full headers from a recent such message.
