One thing which I have done that helps eliminate some problems is throw the HTML reject in there. I don't remember exactly how to do it, but the instructions are in the manual or FAQ. Then all you would get is the reject message, or it may go back to the infected person. Jeff FAX 717-564-4952 Jeff Dougherty Intrepid Video & Electronics God answers 501 Luther Rd Knee-mail.

I'm not sure if this is really what's happening or not, but thought I would ask if anyone else is seeing this.
I have a couple of lists using SmartList which are announcement-type lists. Only the moderator is allowed to post to them. Today, one of the moderators asked if his announcement was sent out twice last week. The mail logs showed two receipts from his address to the email list's address. One was from our mail system, but another was from a system I didn't recognize. Since both were from him (had his email address in the From: field), the message was sent out twice. The second one could have possibly contained a virus, since the message size was about 1700 bytes larger than the first.
My questions: 1.) Is this a possible scenario with SmartList? I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work.
2.) Is there any protection to avoid this? I can't think of any setting to make the system reject messages from the moderator which DON'T come from a particular mail system. Is there any other way? Moderator must approve his own posts?
Thanks for your help with this. I scanned the threads for the last two months on this forum, but didn't see anything that I thought would pertain to this. Please forgive me if I overlooked it and you point it out to me.
