Actually, that's encouraging news! See, from what the tech was saying, it
seems to me that the mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx email alias has been hijacked by
the spammers. Don't worry, it's happening to us all and all you can do is
wait for the IT geeks to catch on to the idea that their auto-spamming
tools are ruining the utility of their corporate email. It will dawn on
them the day they find out that one of their major business partners can
no longer get a message in to them.

To track this person down, though, can't you set the lists auto-unsub for
bouncing feature on for a little while so that freelists actually
processes it? Or can you got down the list of recips and identify the
target domain and just auto-unsub those users? Finally, if you have that
target domain's name, could you send a note from your personal account to
let those subscribers know what's up? Oh yeah, and ask the IT geek to come
take a look at the digests once so he can see there is no tolerance for
forwarding that kind of message from freelists (unlike groups.yahoo.com).

Okay, I'm out of breath.<g>
