Quite right.

Only to reach you. Perhaps. If affinity are providing a routing
service for the listserv...

This is not the header that tells us where they got the message
from. The first (last in the list) received header is the one that
tells us where the message started its journey. That says:

> Received: from listserv (listserv.uark.edu) by listserv.uark.edu
> (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1b) with SMTP id
> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 23 Jul 2003 12:46:02 -0500

Oh yes? I don't think that looks like you, do you? Either the
inbound routing headers are omitted by the listserv or something's
very wrong. We don't have enough information.

Anyway, the thread on TBOT is "Alarming development" and could
*easily* be relevant. It's about theft of identity by the evil
spammer.
