"rse" is actually Ralf S. Engelschall - the guru who wrote mod_ssl in the first place! However, it's not him sending the mails. The mails are viral spam and if you look into the header, you'll see that they are sent to the list-server from: Received: from office.net (c-24-20-135-99.client.comcast.net [24.20.135.99]) by master.modssl.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 2EBC0A8CD1 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 9 Aug 2004 18:35:50 +0200 (CEST) What it looks like is that this machine is spoofing the "MAIL From:" field in SMTP when it sends to the list-server (master.modssl.org). To block these, the list-server has to implement a rule whereby it does not accept mail on an external interface which is apparently-from an internal server.
