Is it possible that the unauthorized message isn't *really* being posted
to the list, but rather your mailer is splitting the bounce message
into two messages because of the embedded headers? In other words, only
one message, the complete bounce message, is being delivered to you,
but your mail reader thinks it's two messages because its expectations
of what identifies a message delimiter is out of sync with the MTA's.
Either some MTA must escape embedded envelope headers (From_ --> >From_)
or your mail reader must honor Content-Length headers.
