Re: [OM] ID cloning

: For that matter, how do others
: so easily truck the list software into thinking it comes from another
party?

The List software (Majordomo) is set up to accept only email addresses from
people who are on the list or digest, effectively blocking spam and email
viruses. It does not look at the ISP from which it is sent. All it takes to
steal someones identity is to temporary change your account properties /
email address into the one that's used by any list member you want to bring
into discredit.

I hope no one will leave the list because of this. That's exactly what our
'terrorist' OC is trying to achieve - permanently destroy it. He will fail -
OM rules.
