I think Harold is asking why the spam was directed to pptc-announce-owner. From the headers (I may or may not be interpreting correctly), it looks like the message was directly addressed to pptc-announce-owner. yes, exactly ... sorry about not being more specific ... i am wondering if anyone else has this experience oft he list =-owner being spammed in this manner and if there is anyway to guard against it. harold ...

[Mailman-Users] problems in posting to a list
i am an administrator (but i didn't install it nor do i have access to the server) of an announcement only mailing list. despite having 3 addresses listed as administrator and moderator, we have only been able to use one address to post. that was ok till last week when we were subject to a spoofing attack appearing to come from that address. i removed that address, having forgotten about the problem in posting from the others. now i cannot post to the list at all even though i returned the removed address. for each i get back a this is an announcement list - send your email to for posting and now even cannot post. so the problem is that even though listed as admin/mod i cannot post. (i can get around this by holding posts and then approving them but i'd rather post directly) thanks harold ...

Re: [Mailman-Users] problems in posting to a list
thanks for your response Any addresses you'd like to accept mail from, add to 'accept_these_nonmembers' under 'Sender filters' under 'Privacy Options' in the web interface. hmmm ... ok ... but why would i be considered a 'non-member' ... i never would have guessed to use this. ALTERNATIVELY, include as the first line of your message: 'Approved: list admin password' (this is better, since it's totally proof against spoofing. an excellent approach ... i take it that the characters ARE included in the above?? thanks again harold ...
