As an afterthought, because many of us on this list have other list members' email addresses in our address book, someone on the list could have a virus that is sending out the messages with the spoofed sender addresses.
As I have Norton AntiVirus 2002 and, as I allow it to constantly update its virus database, I know my computer isn't the source. As the warning message came from the postmaster at loyola.edu, some of you might want to do a "people find" on your address book to see if you have any addresses with the domain name loyola.edu. (In Outlook 2000, the procedure is Tools | Address Book | Find People, then enter loyola.edu in the email field and click on Find Now.) I've checked mine and it has no addresses with that domain name.
