Well, a quick look makes this look like a joe-job. Though without full
headers from end-to-end (i.e. being sure I'm looking at the e-mail that
started the chain of events), I really can't say. We do have a lot of
remote-bounce errors from people trying to spam the lists, and also
attempting to e-mail non-existent addresses at our domain. I'm not
surprised at someone forging a clue mailing list address as a sender, and
forging a sender to any of the clue lists that turns out to be a
legitimate address.

I do have a volunteer to work on our mail configuration, and I've been
delaying contacting him to get started, not for any good reason -- just
doing things on CLUE time, you know? It's Chris Hirsch, if anyone knows
him. The name sounds familiar enough to me that I think he's been active
on the lists for a while, or maybe I've met him. Anyways, I'll e-mail him
right away.

As for the immediate response, it looks like we need to contact both
Spamcop re. the report (otherwise we risk being blackholed) and SpryNet.
I'm not sure how to contact Spry, except by using the address listed
below, with the incident ID number. One of those Spamcop URLs is a
response form. I guess we need to use that to indicate we're working on
the problem.
